Prioritize These URLs
- Homepage and landing pages - Your primary entry points for visitors and AI crawlers
- Product collections & category hubs - Core service pages that drive conversions
- Frequently updated blog content - Editorial content that changes regularly
- High-traffic or high-conversion URLs - Based on your analytics data
Deprioritize or Exclude
- Filter or parameterized URLs - Dynamic URLs with query parameters
- Paginated pages - Archive pages like
?page=2or/archive/ - Legal or static content - Pages that rarely change (terms, privacy policy)

ExcludedImpact on Credit Usage
Prioritizing the right URLs helps you maximize AI visibility while minimizing credit consumption. By excluding low-value pages, you ensure your credits are spent on content that matters most to your business goals.
Example Strategy
A typical e-commerce site with 500 pages might prioritize:
- 50 pages - Homepage, main categories, top products (Daily refresh)
- 150 pages - Product pages, blog posts (Weekly refresh)
- 200 pages - Evergreen content (Monthly refresh)
- 100 pages - Excluded (filters, archives, legal pages)
Next Steps
