Being found by Google and assistants

Your site is already built to be understood by Google and by AI assistants like ChatGPT. What happens automatically, and the five things you should complete to make it work properly.

People increasingly find agents by asking an AI assistant rather than by searching. Your site is built so both can read it, and so both attribute what they find to your business, not to EasyDigz.

Nothing to switch on

All of this is automatic on every EasyDigz site, new and existing. There is no setting. What follows is what happens on its own, and what you can do to make it more effective.

#What happens automatically

WhatWhy it matters
Your brand in page titles and descriptionsSearch results and AI answers name your business, not EasyDigz
Machine-readable business informationYour name, phone, email and address published in a format assistants can read directly
Readable homepage, About page and blog postsThe three things an assistant reads to work out what you do
Link previews with your brandingSharing your link on WhatsApp, LinkedIn or Slack shows your name and logo
A sitemap of your own pages and postsSearch engines discover new content without being told
robots.txt kept up to dateCrawlers know what they may read

#The five things worth completing

The machinery works regardless. These are what determine whether it has anything good to say about you.

  1. 1

    Fill in your business information completely.

    Name, phone, email, address and description. This is what gets published in machine-readable form, blanks are simply absent from the answer. Tenant Settings → Contact Us.

  2. 2

    Upload your logo.

    Used in assistant-generated previews and every shared link.

  3. 3

    Complete your About page.

    Say what your business does, what services you offer, which areas you serve, and why someone should choose you. This is the page an assistant reads to describe you.

  4. 4

    Publish blog content.

    The single highest-value thing on this list, see below.

  5. 5

    Use a custom domain.

    Your own domain carries more weight than a subdomain. See Connecting your own domain.

#Why the blog matters most

Your homepage says who you are. Blog posts prove what you know, and they are what assistants quote when someone asks a specific question, "what are prices doing in Cary", "is it a good time to buy in Durham". Market updates, community guides, buying and selling advice and local insight all work.

See Writing a post. EZ Assist will draft them for you.

#How long it takes

Timing
AI platforms picking up changesTypically 24–72 hours after you publish
Search enginesVaries, your sitemap updates immediately, indexing does not
Posts marked No Index are invisible here

A blog post with No Index set stays out of search engines and out of your sitemap entirely. That is the correct behaviour for a draft or an internal note, and the wrong setting to leave on a post you want found. See SEO and the pre-publish checklist.
