GLOSSARY TERM
What is Crawlability?
Definition
The ability of search engine bots (like Googlebot) to access, read, and index the pages of your website. It's determined by your robots.txt, sitemap, internal link structure, and server response codes.
Why it Matters for AI Search
If search engines can't crawl your pages, they can't index or rank them. Common crawlability issues include blocked resources in robots.txt, orphaned pages with no internal links, and slow server responses that cause crawl budget waste.
