  "question": "How do I configure robots.txt on Webflow for better Microsoft Copilot discovery?",
  "description": "Learn how to configure your Webflow robots.txt file to ensure Microsoft Copilot can effectively crawl and index your site content for improved AI visibility.",
  "summary": "Optimizing your Webflow robots.txt file is essential for Microsoft Copilot discovery. By ensuring Bingbot has proper access, you allow the AI to index your site content for better visibility in search answers.",
  "answer": "To improve Microsoft Copilot discovery, you must ensure your Webflow robots.txt file does not block the Bingbot user-agent. Microsoft Copilot relies on Bingbot to crawl and index web content, meaning any restrictive directives in your robots.txt file will prevent the AI from accessing your pages. You can manage these settings directly within the Webflow Site Settings dashboard. By maintaining an open crawl policy for Bingbot, you increase the likelihood that your content is indexed and cited within Copilot's generated responses. Regularly auditing your site with tools like Trakkr helps verify that these technical configurations are successfully enabling AI platform discovery.",
