Best Practices
Rollout order, refresh rates, validation tips.
Geordy works best when you roll out deliberately. These patterns come from real usage.
Start with the Top 5
Before importing your , structure these five pages first. This gives AI a complete picture fast.
- Homepage - the first thing AI systems check. Sets the baseline.
- Pricing - high-intent page. Revenue-critical for AI retrieval.
- Top category page - anchors your taxonomy for AI understanding.
- Best product page - concrete proof of what you offer.
- About / credibility page - trust and authority signals for AI.
Then scale with sitemap
Once the pipeline works for 5 pages, import your XML sitemap and process in batches. Prioritize money pages first. Validate one page, confirm the output, then import. Not the other way around.
Refresh strategy
- Keep a refresh cadence on pages that change: products, categories, frequently edited marketing pages.
- Set a page's Frequency to Off if you edited one of its formats by hand and want it to hold.
- Use weekly scans unless the page changes daily. Most marketing pages don't.
Enable what you deploy
3 formats instead of 8 cuts your file usage by more than half. Start with Schema JSON, Markdown, and (homepage only). Add OG.json, , RSS, manifest, and humans.txt when you're ready to deploy them.
When output looks off
TipIf a generated format feels wrong, the original page is usually unclear to machines. Fix the page, regenerate. The structured output follows the source.
Validation checklist
- Open ai.yourdomain.com/llms.txt in browser - does it load?
- Check schema.json output - does the entity type match the page?
- Verify link tags in page source - are <link rel="alternate"> tags present?
- Dashboard shows recent scan activity - not stale timestamps.
- File usage matches expectations for your page count and refresh rate.
