Scrunch recommends that brands make their websites easy for AI bots to access and their content easy for AI bots to consume.
Additional context: If AI bots can’t easily access a brand’s site or read its content, it’s far less likely that a brand will be mentioned or cited in AI responses.

For example, a Scrunch user would use the following workflow make their website more optimized to show up in AI platforms:
Deep AI Audit (diagnose access and content issues)
Optimizer (fix and enhance page content)
AXP (deliver AI-optimized content directly to AI agents)
The two most common technical issues that prevent websites from showing up in AI platforms are robots.txt files that stop AI bots from accessing site content and JavaScript-heavy webpages that make it difficult for AI bots to consume content.
