So if robots from search engines and AI systems are not able to crawl our website successfully, right? There's something that prevents them from being able to do so, then the search engine won't be able to index or rank our website. The AI system won't be able to include our website in training material or in its knowledge base. So we won't surface in citations or be mentioned in responses. That presents a really big problem. So that's where as we think about all the things that we can do for technical SEO and all the things we can do for the technical side of AI search, this really is the most fundamental level, the most important level because if bots cannot successfully access your website, nothing else matters.
