To help Perplexity find your brand content, focus on three core Webflow settings. First, enable and submit your XML sitemap to ensure all pages are indexed. Second, implement JSON-LD schema markup to provide context about your business, products, and services. Third, optimize your page titles and meta descriptions with relevant keywords. By providing clear, structured data, you make it easier for AI models to parse your site's information, ultimately increasing your brand's visibility within Perplexity's AI-driven search responses and summaries.
