Searchable is hiring 14 salespeople for enterprise, agency and mid-market buyers, and its Head of Growth post says "our acquisition should be the best case study we have". Yet the pages those buyers need are missing from searchable.com's own sitemap: /enterprise, /solutions/agencies, /solutions/brands, /features/mcp and /affiliates are linked in the navigation and set to be indexed, but the 240-URL sitemap leaves them out, while it does list a summit registration page that returns 404. llms.txt, the file Searchable teaches customers to use, also skips the solution pages, the comparisons and the customer stories. The new AEO Search Lead owns exactly this: "crawlability, indexing, schema".

Why it works
Generate the sitemap from the site's routes instead of a hand list, add the five pages and remove the 404, and add a build check that fails when an indexable page is missing from the sitemap. Rewrite llms.txt around buyer paths (brands, agencies, enterprise, pricing, comparisons, customer stories, MCP, security) with one line each. Then track in Searchable itself the prompts these pages should win ("AEO platform for agencies", "white-label AI visibility reporting", "enterprise AI search tracking") and publish the before and after in the experiment log.
Search engines and AI crawlers find and trust pages that the sitemap and llms.txt point to. These are the pages with the highest buying intent, and the fix is a few hours of work that the new sales team benefits from for months.

Risks and how to handle them
Other pages drift out again
The build check catches new routes automatically.
llms.txt has limited effect

- Your websiteSitemap (240 URLs, checked twice on October 22, 2026): 79 blog posts, 28 glossary terms, 26 changelog entries, 20 author pages, 19 feature pages, 18 event pages, 9 comparison pages, 8 data reports, 7 workflows and 3 customer stories. Five pages linked from the site navigation, each set to "index, follow" with its own canonical, are not in it: /enterprise, /solutions/agencies, /solutions/brands, /features/mcp and /affiliates. The sitemap does list /ai-search-summit-2026/register, which returns a 404 "We can't find the page" page.Source
- Your websitellms.txt links the homepage, pricing, blog, glossary, the free reports, five feature pages, workflows, data reports and "About Searchable for AI assistants" pages, but not the enterprise, agency or brand solution pages, the comparison pages, the customer stories, the MCP page or the affiliate program. Searchable's own glossary defines llms.txt as a file that "summarizes the site and links to its" key pages.Source
