# SEO & AI visibility

Manage how search engines, social platforms, and AI tools discover and understand your website.

Open [Settings → SEO & AI visibility](https://convella.com/site?publicationSettings=metadata) to get started.

## Metadata

Under **Meta data**, customize the information used when your website appears in search results or shared links.

### Search

Select **Search** to edit your **Meta title** and **Meta description**. Use the search preview to review your changes, then click **Save changes**.

### Social sharing

Select **Social sharing** to customize the **Social title**, **Social description**, and sharing image, then click **Save changes**.

These settings describe your website. Individual articles and pages also have their own [metadata settings](https://help.convella.com/articles/article-settings.md#metadata).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Previews show how your website could appear. Search engines and social platforms decide what to display and may take time to pick up changes.

## Search indexing

Under [Search indexing](https://convella.com/site?publicationSettings=indexing), choose which types of crawlers you allow:

* **Search engine indexing** — Allow public pages to be indexed by search engines.
* **AI search crawlers** — Allow recognized AI crawlers used for search and answers.
* **AI training crawlers** — Allow recognized crawlers used for model training.

The switches save automatically.

> [!NOTE]
>
> These preferences apply to crawlers that honor your website's directives. They don't guarantee indexing, inclusion in AI answers, or compliance by every crawler. Use [membership access](https://help.convella.com/memberships/membership-setup.md#members-only-content) to restrict who can read content.

![Separate switches for search engine indexing, AI search crawlers, and AI training crawlers](https://mintcdn.com/convella/pBat-kSuSzw_lXD9/images/website/search-indexing.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=pBat-kSuSzw_lXD9\&q=85\&s=8d7e5ddd20c5c05ea182f6925c877014)

## Sitemap

Convella maintains a sitemap at `/sitemap.xml` to help search engines discover published content.

Under [SEO & AI visibility → Sitemap](https://convella.com/site?publicationSettings=sitemap), use the switch to enable or disable it. When enabled, click the open-in-new-tab icon to view it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Search engine indexing** must be enabled to publish your sitemap.

## LLMs.txt

Convella provides an editable `/llms.txt` file with an overview of your website and useful links for AI tools.

Open [SEO & AI visibility → LLMs.txt](https://convella.com/site?publicationSettings=llms), enable the file, and click **Edit** to customize its content. Click **Save changes** when you're finished.

Turn off the switch to stop publishing the file.

Your sitemap and `llms.txt` are only available while your website is live and public. Private and offline websites don't expose these files.
