In the past, customers found suppliers by searching keywords on Baidu or Google. Now there's a new habit: asking AI directly — "Which company should I look for for this type of product?" AI reads public web pages and then gives an answer. If your website has scattered information and incomplete product data, AI can't find the key points, and customers naturally won't find you. X1 solves exactly this: making your content easy for both search engines and AI to read.

The Search Engine Side: Clearly State What Each Page Is About

When search engines crawl a page, the first things they look at are the title and summary. If the title is vague and the summary is empty, indexing will be inaccurate and the listing won't be attractive. X1 lets you set titles and summaries separately for the homepage, category pages, single pages, and each article — no code changes needed. If a content page doesn't have them filled in, the system automatically uses the category name, article title, or excerpt as a fallback. So fill in the site-level settings first, then fill in content pages one by one — the workload isn't heavy.

The system also automatically generates a page list and a crawl rules file, so search engines can follow the map and find the pages that should be indexed. Only categories visible to visitors and published articles are included — drafts and hidden content won't get mixed in. After publishing, confirm that the article status is "Published" and that its categories are all visible, and the indexing scope will be correct.

The AI Side: Help Machines Understand What You Sell

AI needs facts most when answering questions. X1 automatically generates a plain-text index for AI to read, listing public categories, listed products, published content, and FAQs. The more complete your product data — brand, model, price, unit, minimum order quantity, place of origin — the more likely AI is to cite it.

Product pages and single pages can also include a "FAQ" block. You write answers to questions customers actually ask, and the front end outputs a Q&A block along with structured data that AI can read directly. If the Q&A is empty, nothing is output — no empty shell is left behind.

A Fictional Scenario: Mr. Chen, an Industrial Parts Supplier

Mr. Chen sells industrial parts. His website used to have only product images and a one-line description. Customers couldn't find him by searching model numbers, and asking AI got them nowhere. Later, he filled in the brand, model, minimum order quantity, and place of origin for each product, and wrote Q&A for common models like "Can this replace imported parts?" and "What's the minimum order quantity?" After organizing things this way, when customers search for model numbers on search engines, they're more likely to land on his product pages — and when they ask AI, there's a greater chance he'll be found and mentioned. The business didn't change, but the chance of being found did.

Don't Forget Baidu, Sogou, and Other Entry Points

X1 provides site verification for Baidu and Sogou, plus Baidu active push. After products are listed and articles are published, URLs automatically enter the push queue and are submitted periodically by the server — no manual copy-pasting one by one. Push results and remaining quota are visible in the admin panel. Older content can be re-saved once to enter the queue — the operation is simple.

One reminder: AI platforms each have their own rules. Tencent Yuanbao currently has no public indexing entry point for site owners. What you can do is still make the pages themselves readable: keep categories and content public, complete product data, write clear Q&A, and make the site index file accessible. X1 has no dedicated settings for Yuanbao, and none are needed.

What This Means for Your Business

SEO and GEO aren't two separate skills — they're two sides of the same thing: explaining your business clearly so machines can understand it. Search engines need titles and summaries; AI needs product facts and Q&A. At the core, it's all about "complete information, public pages." X1 puts these capabilities into one admin panel. Businesses enable modules like content, store, and membership as needed, and the foundational SEO and GEO capabilities come along with them.
