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=2 or /archive/
  • Legal or static content - Pages that rarely change (terms, privacy policy)

Impact 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

Once you've identified which URLs to prioritize, learn how to set optimal refresh frequencies in Recommended Refresh Frequencies.
