  "question": "How do I configure robots.txt on Webflow for better Perplexity discovery?",
  "description": "Learn how to configure your Webflow robots.txt file to ensure Perplexity crawlers can access your site content, improving your chances of AI-driven citations.",
  "summary": "Optimizing your Webflow robots.txt file is essential for Perplexity discovery. By ensuring your site remains accessible to AI crawlers, you increase the likelihood that your content is indexed, cited, and surfaced within AI-generated search answers.",
  "answer": "To improve Perplexity discovery, you must ensure your Webflow robots.txt file does not block the crawlers that power AI search engines. Navigate to your Webflow Site Settings, access the SEO panel, and verify that your robots.txt configuration allows access to your primary content pages. While Webflow provides a default setup, you may need to add custom rules to explicitly permit AI crawlers. Once configured, use Trakkr to monitor whether your pages are being successfully cited by Perplexity, as technical access is the foundational step for achieving consistent visibility in AI-generated responses and maintaining a competitive presence.",
