Indexing readiness

How warconomy.com is prepared for search and AI indexing — robots, sitemaps, canonical domain, and crawler guides that the static build already provides — plus a manual checklist for Google Search Console and Bing. No automation, no DNS changes.

static reference · data June 5, 2026

The static build already provides the machine-facing essentials for indexing: a robots.txt that allows crawling, XML sitemaps listing every public page, canonical URLs on the apex domain https://warconomy.com, and crawler guides (llms.txt, the route catalog). What remains is manual and one-time: add the site to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, verify the domain, and submit the sitemap. Submitting a sitemap does not guarantee indexing — search engines decide coverage.

  • Canonical domain: https://warconomy.com (apex, https).
  • 6 crawl essentials already shipped; 7 manual console steps remain.
  • Prefer a Google Search Console Domain property where possible.
  • No DNS changes are made here — verification and any .org redirect are owner actions.

Already provided by the build

  • robots.txt allows crawling — A static robots.txt is served and references the sitemap; normal crawling is allowed. (/robots.txt)
  • XML sitemaps list public pages — sitemap.xml (with page and data segments) enumerates every public route with lastmod and priority. (/sitemap.xml)
  • Canonical domain is https://warconomy.com — All canonical URLs and structured data use the apex https://warconomy.com host. (/)
  • Crawler guide for AI/search — llms.txt (and llms-full.txt) describe the dataset, the canonical surfaces, and citation guidance. (/llms.txt)
  • Machine-readable route catalog — Every HTML page and static endpoint is listed for crawlers at /routes and /routes/data.json. (/routes)
  • Clear homepage + per-page metadata — The homepage and major pages carry descriptive titles/descriptions and JSON-LD structured data. (/)

Manual checklist (one-time, in a webmaster console)

These require a human — they cannot be automated from the site, and Warconomy makes no DNS changes.

  1. Add warconomy.com to Google Search Console — Create a property for the site. Prefer a Domain property (covers all subdomains and protocols).
  2. Verify the domain via DNS TXT — Add the verification TXT record at your DNS provider. (Warconomy does not change DNS for you.)
  3. Submit the sitemap — In Search Console → Sitemaps, submit https://warconomy.com/sitemap.xml.
  4. Inspect and index the homepage — Use URL Inspection on https://warconomy.com/ and request indexing.
  5. Request indexing for top pages — Inspect and request indexing for the highest-value topic pages (Ukraine, Red Sea, Hormuz, sanctions, defense, dataset).
  6. Add to Bing Webmaster Tools — Create a Bing property and submit the same sitemap; Bing also feeds other crawlers.
  7. (Optional) buy warconomy.org as a defensive redirect — If acquired, 301-redirect warconomy.org to https://warconomy.com only — never a separate content site. Keep .com canonical.

Submitting a sitemap does not guarantee indexing; search engines decide coverage. The steps above maximize discoverability, not certainty.

warconomy.com vs warconomy.org

https://warconomy.com is the one canonical site.

  • Do not split content across warconomy.com and warconomy.org.
  • If warconomy.org is purchased, it should 301-redirect to https://warconomy.com only — a defensive alias, not a separate content site.
  • Keep warconomy.com canonical for SEO and brand consistency.
  • Revisit a separate .org only with a deliberate nonprofit/research-institute strategy later.

Recommended property type

Prefer a Domain property in Google Search Console where possible (covers http/https and all subdomains).
