Technical evidence
Observed page evidence is shown in its original language. Recommendations are in the separate action plan.
Training permissions (not scored)
Draft files
robots-review.txt is guidance, not a replacement robots.txt. Keep existing private-path rules. JSON-LD uses observed page facts and does not invent an Organization.

Check access before changing robots.txt
A blocked search-tool rule can prevent that tool from crawling a page. An allowed rule is permission, not proof that a provider visited, indexed or cited you. Enter the final public page address; rules can differ between paths on the same website.
- Run the audit below. It fetches public discovery files and checks the selected page.
- Read the focused access result and the provider rules in Technical evidence.
- Review changes with your developer. Preserve restrictions for private paths and keep training permissions as a separate decision.
Example: a rule that disallows /private/ does not automatically disallow /articles/. More specific matching rules and Allow exceptions matter.
Unavailable or protected robots.txt remains unknown. Citable does not impersonate provider networks, execute website JavaScript or bypass access controls.

FROM DISCOVERY TO TRUST
Why AI search visibility matters
When an AI answer cites your work, readers can follow the source to your website. Clear, accessible content makes your expertise easier to understand and verify.
Verifiable expertise
Give researchers clear facts, authorship and sources they can check. Publish evidence worth referencing.
A shared action plan
Connect marketing priorities with concrete technical tasks your developer can review.
Educational links, not integrations or endorsements. Citable checks your page; it does not query these services, measure actual citations or guarantee inclusion.
