Most SEOs are confusing ๐น๐น๐บ๐.๐๐
๐ with an ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค ๐๐๐๐.
They're not the same thing.
One is a proposed standard nobody's actually using.
The other is already being cited by ChatGPT today.
๐น๐น๐บ๐.๐๐ ๐:
- A markdown file at ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ.๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ/๐น๐น๐บ๐.๐๐ ๐
- A list of links pointing AI crawlers to your "important" pages
- Google's John Mueller confirmed no AI system currently uses it
- Semrush tested it on Search Engine Land โ zero visits from GPTbot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, or Google-Extended over 2.5 months
๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ณ๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ:
- A real, indexable page on your site (like /ai-info)
- Structured with clear headings, linked from the footer
- Contains the exact facts you want LLMs to repeat about your brand
- Services, differentiators, tech stack, proprietary methods, team
- Already pulled and cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini
If you don't tell AI who you are, it pulls from third-party junk or hallucinates.
๐น๐น๐บ๐.๐๐ ๐ won't save you. No crawler is reading it.
An ๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ณ๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ will, because it's just a page. AI can already read pages.
At Notebook Agency, ours sits in the footer. ChatGPT describes us accurately and cites it directly.
One is theory. The other is working today.
P.S. I'll link the ๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ณ๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฃ๐ง and a walkthrough in the comments.
