TopGEOClaim company wiki
Being readable by AI search is not the same as being included
A page that a crawler can read has cleared one hurdle. It has not earned a guaranteed search appearance.
Google Search Central says a page must be indexed and eligible to appear in Google Search with a snippet to be eligible as a supporting link in AI Overviews or AI Mode. Google also says meeting its requirements and best practices does not guarantee crawling, indexing or serving.
Google's guidance says new machine-readable files, AI text files and special schema are not required for these Google Search experiences.
So a tidy page is a start, not a result.
