        "text": "A realistic baseline for making an existing site AI-crawlable is 4–8 weeks, depending on size, tech stack, and how clean your current SEO is. Smaller brochure sites can often do it in 2–4 weeks; large catalogs might take 2–3 months.\n\nThe work spans auditing, planning, implementation, and re‑testing in AI interfaces.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Number of priority pages (usually 50–200 for mid‑size brands)\n- Complexity of templates and JavaScript framework used\n- How mature your current SEO, schema, and performance are\n- Availability of dev, content, and SEO resources\n\nFor an urgent launch in Austin or Los Angeles, narrow scope to 10–20 mission‑critical URLs and get those AI-ready first, then roll out patterns to the rest. Ask vendors to give you a timeline per phase (audit, implementation, validation), not just a single date, so you can see progress along the way.",
