For site owners

Get listed in the standard

You do not fill a public submit form. CiteFleet verifies the origin and publishes the BotCentral 1.0 card.

  1. 01

    Work with CiteFleet

    CiteFleet audits the origin: live routes, robots.txt, sitemap, and owner control. Search consoles and CMS logins stay there. BotCentral never signs into Bing or Google.

  2. 02

    Prove the domain

    DNS TXT botcentral-verify, or a token at /.well-known/botcentral.txt on the origin. Off-host URLs are rejected.

  3. 03

    Match robots to allow_bots

    The live robots.txt must allow the agents named on the card. A later block unpublishes the record on revalidation.

  4. 04

    CiteFleet publishes the 1.0 card

    The private channel writes the catalog. Bots never publish. Mentions, social posts, and press are out of scope — people do that.

After publish, bots discover the site through the public contract— search, site card, llms.txt — not by scraping a secret ranking.
