  "description": "Learn how to configure your Webflow robots.txt file to ensure Google Gemini can effectively crawl, index, and cite your site content for improved AI visibility.",
  "summary": "Optimizing your Webflow robots.txt file is essential for ensuring Google Gemini can access your site. By managing crawler directives correctly, you improve the likelihood of your content being cited in AI-generated answers, which helps maintain brand authority and visibility across the evolving AI search landscape.",
  "answer": "To configure your robots.txt for better Gemini discovery, navigate to your Webflow Project Settings and access the SEO tab. Ensure that your robots.txt file does not contain directives that block Googlebot or other Google-related user agents from accessing your high-value pages. Because Gemini relies on the same underlying infrastructure as Google Search, maintaining an open and crawlable site structure is the most effective way to ensure your content is indexed. Use Trakkr to monitor whether your pages are being cited by Gemini, allowing you to verify that your technical adjustments are successfully driving visibility and brand presence in AI-generated responses.",
