  "question": "How do I audit whether Apple Intelligence can crawl my Squarespace site?",
  "description": "Learn how to audit your Squarespace site to verify if Apple Intelligence can crawl your content. Follow these steps to manage your robots.txt and site access.",
  "summary": "Auditing your Squarespace site for Apple Intelligence crawlers is essential for controlling how AI models index your content. By reviewing your robots.txt file and Squarespace site settings, you can ensure that your site's data is either accessible or restricted based on your specific SEO and content strategy requirements for AI search engines.",
  "answer": "To audit whether Apple Intelligence can crawl your Squarespace site, you must first inspect your robots.txt file. Squarespace automatically generates this file, but you can customize it in the 'SEO' settings. Check for 'Applebot' or 'Applebot-Extended' directives. If these user agents are disallowed, Apple Intelligence cannot crawl your pages. Additionally, verify your site's visibility settings in the Squarespace dashboard to ensure no global blocks are active. Regularly monitoring your server logs for these specific user agents will provide definitive proof of crawling activity, allowing you to adjust your access permissions as needed to maintain control over your site's data usage by AI models.",
