By hand or by asking

The SEO chores, done either way.

Fill things in yourself with AI suggestions, or hand the whole job to Lumi, Claude, or ChatGPT.

Fill in missing descriptions

SEO lists the pages missing a title or description. Press Suggest to draft them, up to 25 at a time, then keep or skip each one.

Ask for titles and descriptions across the site. The agent writes them from each page's content.

Prompt

Write a meta title and description for every page that doesn't have one yet.

List pages6 missing
Update page× 6
Added titles and descriptions to 6 pages, including Catering and Wholesale. Each one is under 160 characters.

Move a page without losing it

Add a 301 redirect from the old address. Suggest from 404s matches addresses people hit last month to the page they meant.

Tell the agent what moved. It adds the redirect so old links and rankings follow the page.

Prompt

I renamed the Catering page to Events. Redirect /catering to /events so old links still work.

Create redirect301
Done. /catering now sends visitors and search engines to /events with a permanent redirect.

Add your business details

Fill in your business type, address, hours, phone, and social profiles once, or press Suggest to pull them from your pages. They go into every page's structured data.

Give the agent your details in a sentence. It updates the business info that powers your structured data.

Questions

About SEO.

Do I need an SEO plugin?

No. Sitemaps, canonical tags, share previews, structured data, and image sizing are built into every site.

What are llms.txt and markdown pages?

llms.txt is a plain list of your pages for AI assistants. Every page also has a markdown version at the same address plus .md, which is easier for AI tools to read than the full web page. You can turn this off.

How does instant indexing work?

When you publish, update, or remove a page, BrightSite tells search engines that support IndexNow, including Bing, right away. It works once your site is on its own domain.

Will old links still work if I move my site?

Yes, if you add redirects. Add a 301 redirect from each old address to its new page, and BrightSite suggests matches for the missing addresses visitors hit most.

Can I add my own schema?

Yes. Add FAQ schema to any page, product schema to store items, or paste your own JSON-LD.
