Your fix plan
3 prioritized fixes — most impactful first.
- HighLet AI crawlers reach your pagesWhy: Restricting AI crawlers in robots.txt limits their ability to index and understand the site, hindering visibility in AI-driven search results.
How: Update the robots.txt file to allow access for AI crawlers like GPTBot and others by adding 'User-agent: GPTBot' followed by 'Allow: /'. - MediumDefine your brand with Organization schemaWhy: Not having Organization schema makes it difficult for AI to accurately associate the content with the brand, which can negatively impact search visibility and relevance.
How: Implement Organization schema in JSON-LD format on the homepage to provide structured information about the BBC, including its name, logo, and contact details. - MediumPublish an llms.txt fileWhy: The lack of an llms.txt file prevents AI models from accessing a curated summary of the site, which could enhance understanding and indexing of its content.
How: Create a standalone /llms.txt file that includes a concise markdown summary of the BBC's offerings, ensuring it is publicly accessible at the root of the domain.
