  "description": "Learn how to configure your Webflow robots.txt file to ensure Meta AI can crawl and index your site content effectively for improved AI visibility.",
  "summary": "Optimizing your Webflow robots.txt file allows Meta AI crawlers to access your site content. By correctly defining user-agent directives, you ensure your brand remains discoverable within AI-driven answer engines and citation results.",
  "answer": "To improve Meta AI discovery, you must explicitly allow the Meta-ExternalAgent in your Webflow robots.txt file. Navigate to your Project Settings, select the SEO tab, and locate the robots.txt editor to input your directives. By setting a clear 'Allow' rule for the Meta-ExternalAgent, you grant the crawler permission to index your pages. This technical step is essential for ensuring your content is available for AI citation. Once configured, use Trakkr to monitor how these changes impact your brand's presence across major AI platforms and verify that your site content is being correctly surfaced in AI-generated answers.",
