Research Asset Landing Pages That Support Retrieval: A Practical Build Guide
A standalone page hosting one study, dataset, or report gets extracted and cited by AI answer engines differently than a blog post does — here's what the actual research says about structure, schema, and what still isn't proven.
Robots.txt Rules for AI Crawlers: A Governance Guide
