Most SEOs are confusing ๐—น๐—น๐—บ๐˜€.๐˜๐˜…๐˜ with an ๐˜ผ๐™„ ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™›๐™ค ๐™‹๐™–๐™œ๐™š.

They're not the same thing.

One is a proposed standard nobody's actually using.

The other is already being cited by ChatGPT today.

๐—น๐—น๐—บ๐˜€.๐˜๐˜…๐˜:
- A markdown file at ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ.๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ/๐—น๐—น๐—บ๐˜€.๐˜๐˜…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

๐—”๐—œ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ผ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ:
- 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.

๐—น๐—น๐—บ๐˜€.๐˜๐˜…๐˜ won't save you. No crawler is reading it.

An ๐—”๐—œ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ผ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ 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 ๐—”๐—œ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ผ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—š๐—ฃ๐—ง and a walkthrough in the comments.
