Submit your site to Common Crawl sources

30-45 minImpact: mediumEffort: low

Common Crawl is a large, open web archive that many AI training datasets draw from — ensuring your site is genuinely crawlable and included increases the chance your content becomes part of what AI systems actually learned from.

Some AI systems' training data derives partly from Common Crawl, so confirming your site is included and crawlable is a real, if indirect, way to influence what these systems know.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Confirm your site is genuinely crawlable
    No robots.txt blocks, no technical barriers preventing standard crawlers from accessing your content.
  2. 2
    Check if your domain appears in Common Crawl data
    Common Crawl provides tools to check index inclusion.
  3. 3
    Ensure ongoing crawlability
    This is not a one-time submission — staying crawlable keeps you eligible for future crawl cycles.
