        "text": "AI-crawlable means your site is technically and semantically easy for AI bots and large language models to access, understand, and quote accurately. It’s less about rankings and more about being a reliable source that answer engines can trust.\n\nTraditional SEO focuses on search engines like Google; AI crawlability focuses on how generative systems extract facts, entities, and answers from your pages.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Access: robots.txt, sitemaps, no hard blocks for AI user‑agents\n- Rendering: content visible without complex JavaScript or interactions\n- Understanding: clear structure, schema, and question‑answer formatting\n- Attribution: canonical URLs, consistent metadata, author and organization markup\n\nMap your high‑value questions (pricing, services, policies) and ensure each has a dedicated, well‑structured page that an AI can parse. Treat AI-crawlable website creation as a layer on top of SEO: you still need SEO basics, but you design explicitly for machines that “read” and synthesize your content.",
