# Search visibility for your app

> Make a public app understandable to search engines and AI search tools.

A public URL makes your app accessible, but it does not guarantee search indexing or ranking. Start by deciding which pages should be public and useful to someone arriving from a search result.

## Give each public page a purpose

Use a descriptive title, a clear main heading, and original content that answers the visitor's question. Link related pages with ordinary descriptive links. Avoid creating many near-identical pages just to target keyword variations.

Ask Fabricate to implement these details for your app, then inspect the result. Metadata and a sitemap are useful only when they point to working, intended public pages.

## Check what crawlers can access

For a public content site, verify that important text is available to search engines, page links work, and rendering assets are crawlable. Check robots directives and canonical URLs before submitting pages. Private account screens, personal records, and administrative actions should not become public to improve SEO.

Do not put private data in public HTML or rely on robots.txt as access control. Authentication and server-side permission checks are what protect records.

## Submit and measure

Use a domain you control where you can complete ownership verification. Follow the search engine's current verification instructions for Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and submit your app's sitemap if it has one. These services can explain crawling and indexing exclusions; a successful submission is not an indexing guarantee.

Measure impressions and clicks separately from actions inside the app. AI citations, crawler requests, and paid conversions are different outcomes.

## Write for readers

Clear instructions, original examples, useful comparisons, and current facts help visitors evaluate your app. Do not add unverified testimonials, fake mentions, or ranking promises. There is no special file that guarantees inclusion in AI answers.

Google's [Search Essentials](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/essentials) and [AI search guidance](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/ai-optimization-guide) explain eligibility and content expectations. Continue with [Measure useful actions](/docs/deploy/analytics).
