Google indexing makes a page eligible for search. It does not make a company defensible in an AI-generated supplier answer. Recommendation readiness depends on buyer-question fit, entity clarity, service boundaries, traceable evidence, and accessible public pages.
A website can load perfectly in a browser and still fail at discovery, crawling, indexing, buyer-question coverage, or citation readiness. This guide turns each gap into an owned, verifiable remediation task.
