One other hurdle to note specifically in this time: because of the absolute flood of AI bots that tend to hammer popular sites and ignore robots.txt, many web servers out there have moved to a bot allow list — which means if you’ve got a new properly behaved and reporting index bot, you’ll likely find it gets blocked by default on a LOT of the Internet.
