Supported website types
Which kinds of sites VisibleMax scans well, and where SPAs or auth walls limit coverage.
Updated 2026-08-06
VisibleMax is built for public marketing and content surfaces — the pages buyers and AI crawlers can fetch without logging in. Scan quality depends on how much clear, crawlable HTML your site exposes.
Well-supported site types
| Type | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Marketing sites | Homepage, product, pricing, and about pages usually expose clear entity and offer copy in HTML. |
| SaaS product sites | Docs, feature pages, comparisons, and FAQs give assistants concrete facts to cite. |
| Blogs & content hubs | Articles and guides expand topical coverage when linked and indexable. |
| Local business sites | NAP, services, and location pages help assistants answer “near me” and category queries. |
Limited or partial coverage
- Single-page apps (SPAs): If critical copy only appears after client-side rendering and little HTML is in the initial response, the crawl may see thin or empty pages.
- Auth-walled content: Logged-in dashboards, customer portals, and paywalled docs are out of scope — we only fetch what is publicly reachable.
- App-only URLs: Scanning an application login host instead of the public marketing domain typically yields useless or failed crawls.
- Heavy bot blocking: Aggressive WAFs, CAPTCHAs, or geo blocks can prevent discovery even when humans can browse the site.
What helps every site type
- Serve product, audience, and pricing (or “contact for pricing”) in static or server-rendered HTML.
- Keep robots.txt open to legitimate AI retrieval crawlers you want to appear in.
- Link important pages from the homepage and sitemap so discovery can reach them within crawl depth.
- Prefer clear entity names, comparisons, and FAQs over vague hero slogans alone.
FAQ
Can you scan my React or Next.js app?
Yes when the public pages return meaningful HTML (SSR/SSG or prerender). Pure client-only shells with empty initial markup scan poorly.
What about multilingual or multi-region sites?
We crawl from the URL you connect. Pick the primary public locale buyers and AI systems should learn from, or run separate projects per market if needed.
