The situation
A directory that helps people check out independent local businesses before they call, buy or hire. It launched with a very large set of listing pages, which only works if Google can crawl them efficiently and decides they are useful.
What we built
Listing pages at scale
Hundreds of thousands of clean, fast listing pages, each with real details about one business.
Smart crawl structure
Sitemaps and internal links that lead Google to the pages that matter first.
Speed under load
Caching and a setup that serves huge crawl volume without slowing down.
Open to AI assistants
An llms.txt file and crawler rules that welcome the assistants that send readers.

Within two weeks of launch, Google was showing the directory 17,098 times a week. In its first month it showed up for 7,816 different searches across 9,891 pages. In one week, crawlers from OpenAI (8,900 visits), Anthropic (22,650) and Perplexity (15,320) read its pages.
What this means for your business
You don't need a finance site or a news site to use the same playbook. A plumber, a restaurant or a salon gets the same things: a fast website with clean structure, new pages every month that answer what customers actually search, and a file that helps AI assistants understand the business. Then Website Care tests the site every week and keeps what works.
