Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface coder-hxl/x-crawl, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition README opening to highlight comprehensive AI-assisted crawling
Why:
CURRENTx-crawl is a flexible Node.js AI-assisted crawler library. Flexible usage and powerful AI assistance functions make crawler work more efficient, intelligent and convenient.
COPY-PASTE FIXx-crawl is a comprehensive and flexible Node.js library for AI-assisted web crawling, designed to efficiently scrape both static and dynamic web content. It integrates powerful AI capabilities (Ollama, OpenAI) with robust crawling features, making complex data extraction intelligent and convenient.
- highreadme#2Add a 'Why x-crawl?' or 'Comparison' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section, perhaps titled "Why x-crawl?" or "Comparison with Alternatives", that explicitly contrasts x-crawl's integrated AI assistance and unified API for diverse crawling needs against individual tools like Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio, and Axios. Emphasize how it abstracts these for a more efficient, intelligent workflow.
- mediumtopics#3Expand GitHub topics with more specific AI and crawling terms
Why:
CURRENTai, ai-crawl, chromium, crawl, crawler, fingerprint, flexible, javascript, multifunction, nodejs, puppeteer, spider, typescript
COPY-PASTE FIXai, ai-crawl, chromium, crawl, crawler, data-extraction, fingerprint, flexible, javascript, multifunction, nodejs, ollama, openai-api, puppeteer, spider, typescript, web-scraping
