LLMs don’t crawl the web like Googlebot, so hiding a blog on your site won’t matter in the way you’re thinking. They’re trained on huge datasets that include public web content, but whether your specific post ever shows up in AI outputs is more about if it’s indexed, linked, and widely discoverable on the open web.
If you put content on a page with no internal links, it can still get indexed if it’s in your sitemap or picked up through external backlinks. If it’s truly orphaned it’s less likely to get traction anywhere. For SEO and AI citation purposes, treating it like normal web content that is crawlable, linkable, and optimized gives you a much better shot than trying to hide it off-menu.
Curious, are you aiming for the human side of SEO traffic first, or mainly experimenting to see if AI models pick it up?
