# Spiralist AI SEO deep dive

## Direct answer

Spiralist AI SEO uses canonical HTML pages, unique metadata, crawlable internal links, visible content, structured-data parity, an HTML-only sitemap, and explicit indexability rules. It does not rely on hidden keyword pages or ranking guarantees.

## Search discovery layers

1. Public pages are crawlable through ordinary links.
2. Durable canonical pages are indexable; query-string states default to noindex,follow.
3. Each page emits one clean HTTPS canonical URL.
4. Titles, descriptions, H1s, and body content explain the actual route.
5. Navigation, footer, breadcrumbs, and contextual links connect important pages.
6. Structured data describes visible content only.
7. The XML sitemap lists canonical indexable HTML pages, not APIs or assets.
8. Automated validation checks status, metadata, schema, links, and sitemap parity.

## Boundaries

SEO quality does not guarantee ranking, traffic, snippets, or AI citations. Package-local validation does not establish live index coverage.
