Docs Robots Status

The exact public robots URL is clean:

https://docs.spala.ai/robots.txt

The valid expected body is:

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://docs.spala.ai/sitemap.xml

The deployed origin may also include LLM links as comments. That is valid robots syntax:

# LLM context: https://docs.spala.ai/llms.txt
# Full LLM context: https://docs.spala.ai/llms-full.txt

No Cloudflare purge is currently needed. If a stale file with bare LLMs: directives appears again, purge exactly https://docs.spala.ai/robots.txt.

Grant Access Safely

Google Search Console

1. Open Google Search Console and choose the verified spala.ai property.
2. Go to Settings -> Users and permissions -> Add user.
3. Add the collaborator's Google Account email.
4. Use Restricted for view-only review, Full for sitemap submission and URL Inspection work, and Owner only for someone who should manage users and verification.
5. Avoid service-account emails for normal UI access. Search Console UI users need valid Google Accounts; service accounts are for API workflows and often cannot be added as UI users.
6. Remove or downgrade temporary access after the checks are complete.

Official reference: Manage users, owners, and permissions.

Bing Webmaster Tools

1. Open Bing Webmaster Tools and choose the verified spala.ai site.
2. Open User Management / Users.
3. Add the collaborator email and choose the minimum access needed for sitemap and URL submission checks.
4. If access does not work, confirm the email is tied to an account Bing accepts, then retry or use owner-operated screen sharing.
5. Remove temporary access after the checks are complete.

Official reference: How to add users to your site account.

Google Search Console Actions

1. Open the spala.ai property in Google Search Console.
2. Go to Settings -> robots.txt and confirm https://docs.spala.ai/robots.txt no longer reports syntax errors after Google refetches the clean exact URL.
3. Submit or resubmit https://spala.ai/sitemap.xml.
4. Use URL Inspection for each priority URL below. If the live test passes, request indexing.
5. Record inspection status, crawl state, indexing state, selected canonical, and any errors in an owner-only tracker.

Bing Webmaster Actions

1. Open the spala.ai site in Bing Webmaster Tools.
2. Submit or resubmit https://spala.ai/sitemap.xml.
3. Use URL Submission for the same priority URL list below, respecting account quota.
4. Record submitted, indexed, discovered, crawl error, and canonical statuses in the owner tracker.

Rich Results Follow-Up

Run Google Rich Results Test for pages with FAQPage, Product, ItemList, BreadcrumbList, or SoftwareApplication schema. Record eligible result types and warnings. Local JSON-LD parseability is useful hygiene evidence, but it is not Rich Results approval.
