        "text": "Yes, you can do a basic AI-crawlable setup yourself if you’re comfortable with technical SEO, HTML, and your CMS. But for complex JavaScript sites, multi‑location businesses, or e‑commerce catalogs, a specialist often saves time and costly mistakes.\n\nDIY works best for smaller sites where you can touch every important page yourself.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Your comfort level with robots.txt, sitemaps, schema, and performance tools\n- How complex your rendering and navigation are\n- Whether you have internal dev/SEO resources to support you\n- How critical AI visibility is to your lead or sales pipeline\n\nStart with DIY on obvious fixes (blocking issues, clean headings, simple schema) and use external experts for audits and architectural changes. In tech‑heavy cities like Austin or Denver, look for partners who show you their testing process in AI interfaces, not just generic SEO reports.",
