Best Practices

Rollout order, refresh rates, validation.

Geordy works best when you roll out deliberately. These patterns come from real usage.

Start with the Top 5

Before importing your sitemap, structure these five pages first. This gives AI a complete picture fast.

HomepageFirst thing AI systems check. Sets the baseline.
PricingHigh-intent page. Revenue-critical for AI retrieval.
Top category pageAnchors your taxonomy for AI understanding.
Best product pageConcrete proof of what you offer.
About / credibility pageTrust 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 1 page, confirm the output, then import. Not the other way around.

Refresh strategy

Not every page needs the same cadence.

  • Keep auto-updates on for pages that change: products, categories, frequently edited marketing pages.
  • Pause auto-updates if you manually edited a format and want to lock it.
  • Use weekly scans unless the page changes daily. Most marketing pages don't.

Enable what you deploy

3 formats instead of 8 cuts credits by more than half. Start with Schema JSON, Markdown, and llms.txt (homepage only).

Add OG.json, YAML, RSS, manifest, and humans.txt when you're ready to deploy them.

When output looks off

If 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

After going live, confirm these:

1Open ai.yourdomain.com/llms.txt in browser -- does it load?
2Check schema.json output -- does the entity type match the page?
3Verify link tags in page source -- are <link rel="alternate"> tags present?
4Dashboard shows recent scan activity -- not stale timestamps.
5Credits usage matches expectations for your URL count and refresh rate.
