      "answer": "Check robots.txt and your CDN bot settings, because a blocked crawler can't learn anything from your pages.",
      "body": "Most brands I look at have never opened their robots.txt. Some CDNs, Cloudflare included, now offer one-click blocking of AI bots, and it can be switched on without anyone in marketing knowing. If GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot or ClaudeBot get a 403, your own site drops out of the answer and the assistant leans on whatever Amazon or a reseller says about you.",

A protein bar page that says brand, GTIN, 12g protein, $2.49, in stock, in a format a parser can read, is easier to quote than a page where all that lives in a hero image. Shopify themes add some of this for you. They rarely add GTIN or reviews.",

A page with a simple table of sugar, sodium, price per serving and flavors gives the model something concrete. Be honest about where the other product wins.

      "body": "Some AI traffic arrives with a referrer and some shows up as direct, so treat the number as a floor. ChatGPT often adds utm_source=chatgpt.com to links. Make a channel group so you can watch it month to month.",
