<h4>🔍 Get Found by AI Search Engines</h4>
<p>Your site gets an llms.txt file — a new standard that tells AI crawlers what your site is about, what content you publish, and what products you sell. Think of it as robots.txt, but for AI.</p>
<h4>📊 Speak AI’s Language with Schema.org</h4>
<p>Automatically generates structured data (JSON-LD) that AI agents actually understand — your organization info, articles, products, and more. Better structured data = better AI recommendations.</p>

<h4>🛡️ Stay in Control of Your Content</h4>
<p>Configure how AI systems may use your content — allow or deny training, search indexing, and RAG/context usage. Your content, your rules.</p>
