Search engines
GridAPM publishes canonical pages, an XML sitemap, RSS feed, image metadata, and standard robots directives for general search crawlers including Bing, DuckDuckGo-compatible crawlers, Yandex, Baidu, and Naver/Yeti.
Search and AI discovery
Public discovery for GridAPM research, tools, and trust pages.
GridAPM keeps public content discoverable across search engines and AI search surfaces while preserving clear boundaries for internal analytics, pilot evidence, and customer data.
Discovery channels
Open where it helps buyers, closed where it protects data.
The public website is intended to help utility, TSO, DSO, generation, data center, and industrial teams evaluate local-first transformer APM workflows. Discovery files are tuned for that purpose.
IndexNow
GridAPM hosts a root IndexNow key and can submit newly published or updated public URLs after production deployments. The submission list excludes internal analytics report routes.
AI discovery
GridAPM makes public research, tools, trust pages, and buyer resources available to AI search crawlers while keeping internal reporting pages disallowed.
Private boundaries
Client-only tool inputs, pilot evidence, customer records, and internal analytics exports are not submitted through public discovery files.
Machine-readable links
Discovery endpoints are public and stable.
These files help crawlers, webmaster tools, AI assistants, and technical reviewers understand the public site boundary without guessing from page navigation.
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| robots.txt | Crawler policy for search and AI discovery agents. |
| sitemap.xml | Canonical XML sitemap for public pages and images. |
| llms.txt | Compact public context file for AI assistants and answer engines. |
| llms-full.txt | Expanded public context file with page summaries and source policy. |
| rss.xml | GridAPM research feed. |
| IndexNow key | Root hosted key for IndexNow URL submission. |
Operational safeguards
Discovery controls are explicit and reviewable.
GridAPM treats search visibility as a publishing operation, not as a substitute for engineering validation, security review, or customer authorization.
Public crawlers receive sitemap, RSS, canonical, Open Graph, image, and structured-data signals.
AI search agents are allowed to crawl public pages that are already intended for open web discovery.
/analytics-content-report/ remains disallowed in robots.txt and noindexed in HTML.
IndexNow submissions are limited to public GridAPM URLs on www.gridapm.com.
Search-engine and business-profile verification tokens are injected only when explicit public verification values are provided at build time.
No page claims a ranking guarantee, official search-engine partnership, or autonomous engineering authority.
Allowed agents
Explicit crawler posture for search and AI systems.
The agents below are explicitly allowed for public pages. The same robots file disallows the internal analytics report route for each listed crawler group.

Platform readiness
Supported paths for non-Google discovery.
Account-side verification may still require a signed-in owner to approve site, business, or organization claims. The website can publish the required meta verification tags once those tokens are available.
| Channel | GridAPM posture |
|---|---|
| Bing Webmaster Tools | Verified property, XML sitemap submission, sitemap processing monitoring, and IndexNow receipt monitoring. |
| LinkedIn and X | Public social profiles can be included in Organization sameAs, llms.txt, and discovery files after stable profile URLs are provided. |
| Apple Business | Owner-controlled organization claim path for Apple ecosystem business presence where available. |
| Bing Places For Business | Optional owner-controlled service-area or public business listing if GridAPM chooses to publish location details. |
| Brave Search | General crawlability, canonical pages, and noindex hygiene. |
| Yandex, Naver, Baidu | Technical verification hooks are available; account-side submission should wait for market priority and platform-issued verification details. |
For pilot reviewers
Discovery files do not expose pilot evidence.
Public crawler access covers marketing, research, trust, legal, standards, tools, and sample resources. Transformer evidence, uploaded files, customer asset data, and engineering work products remain outside public search discovery.
