Short answer: in your Base44 app, open Dashboard, Marketing, SEO and GEO and turn on llms.txt under Advanced settings; Base44's docs say it is off by default. Keep the generated robots.txt that allows AI crawlers, publish on a custom domain, add a meta description to each page, and write public pages that state what your app does, for whom and at what price. Then use Base44's AI Visibility view to see AI crawlers reading you, and ask ChatGPT your buyers' questions to see whether it names you.
Step 1: turn on llms.txt
Per Base44's docs, llms.txt generation is off by default and can be enabled from the SEO and GEO page. When on, it gives AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot a structured summary of your app. Open yourdomain.com/llms.txt afterwards and read it: it should describe your public pages, not admin screens.
Step 2: keep AI crawlers allowed
Base44's generated robots.txt allows search engines and AI crawlers on public content. If you replaced it, check that it does not block OAI-SearchBot; OpenAI's docs say sites that block it are not shown in ChatGPT search answers. GPTBot, used for training, can be blocked separately if you prefer.
Step 3: publish on a custom domain
Base44's docs say its SEO setup is designed for apps on a custom domain. The same applies to AI search, which reads the same pages. Follow Base44 SEO and Google indexing for the setup.
Step 4: write pages an assistant can quote
An assistant answering "booking app for a small yoga studio with WhatsApp reminders" needs public text that says so. Check:
- The home page says what the app does, for whom and what it costs, in the first paragraph.
- Each main use case has its own page with a clear title and description.
- Pricing is on a public page in text.
- There is an FAQ with short, direct answers.
- Important content is not only inside the signed-in part of the app.
Step 5: be mentioned elsewhere
Assistants lean on what other sites say. List the app in directories for its category, post where your buyers ask for tools, and collect public reviews. When ChatGPT answers your questions, look at the sources it cites; those are the places to be.
How do I measure it?
Base44's AI Visibility view shows AI crawling, assistant page reads and click-throughs. That tells you assistants are reading you. To know whether they recommend you, write five to ten buyer questions, ask each in ChatGPT with search on, in a fresh chat, more than once, and note whether you are named and who is cited instead. Repeat monthly.
Where Persqo helps
Everything above is in Base44 and ChatGPT. Persqo makes it measurable and gives you the fixes:
- Paste the Persqo prompt into Base44 and your app gets a Persqo admin page at /admin/persqo. An AI visitor tests the live app and every finding comes with a fix prompt you paste into Base44.
- A Persqo GEO scan asks ChatGPT and other engines your buyers' questions, measures how often each one mentions and cites you, and checks whether AI crawlers can read the app. The first scan is a one-time $5.
- If your app uses Base44's two-way GitHub sync, Persqo can open a pull request for llms.txt and robots.txt. You merge it.
