  "description": "Learn how to manage Squarespace robots.txt settings to improve Meta AI discovery. Understand platform limitations and how to monitor your site's AI visibility.",
  "summary": "Squarespace automatically manages robots.txt files, restricting direct user edits. To improve Meta AI discovery, focus on site-wide SEO settings and use Trakkr to monitor how AI platforms cite your content over time.",
  "answer": "Squarespace does not allow direct manual editing of the robots.txt file, as the platform automatically generates and maintains it for all hosted websites. To improve Meta AI discovery, you must focus on your site's global SEO settings, ensuring that your pages are not set to private or password-protected. Because you cannot modify the robots.txt file directly, your primary strategy involves maintaining clean content structures and verifying that no 'noindex' tags are blocking crawlers. Once your site is accessible, use Trakkr to monitor how Meta AI and other platforms cite your content, as configuration is only the first step in ensuring consistent visibility.",
