Start with search evidence
Googlebot documentation keeps ordinary search crawling and rendering visible as its own path, so AI crawler work should not replace basic search accessibility.
Sitemaps, canonicals, internal links, status codes, and first-screen answers still need to work for Googlebot and human searchers.
Visibility is not demand
The useful question is not whether the page appeared somewhere; it is whether the search term, page promise, and next action fit the same reader job.
Check the page path
- Check latest daily pages, topic pages, archive, and resources against both Googlebot access and human navigation
- Keep the test narrow: one priority page with clear topic, source links, internal links, and a conversion action
What still needs proof
Optimizing only for AI crawlers can leave impression-heavy pages with weak clicks. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
