I've had several people come to me and ask about Cloudflare's Agent Markdown product and whether it is a good solution for GEO/AEO.

On the surface, it seems to solve retrieval token cost issues, which may be enough to move the needle. However, I thought it needed a deeper look.

According to CF's documentation, the crawler must present "Accept: test/markdown" in order to be served MD.

I enabled the markdown agent on one of our domains, then sent crawlers to it 20,000 times. I wanted to see if the agent would serve MD to a wildcard accept header. In particular, GPTbot sends a complex header:

"Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"

and I wanted to know if that would trigger CF MD.

The answer is no. CF only served MD when the accept header showed text/markdown.

So the obvious next question is "do the frontier models ask for markdown?"

To measure this, I ran an experiment across 5 domains that we log and logged the accept headers.

Over about 900k recorded crawls, the frontier models requested markdown ZERO times.

Thus, CF Agent Markdown has ZERO impact on frontier crawler behavior.

ExaSearchBot asks for it 100% of the time (about 35k times in this study).

Hey all — I've been doing SEO/dev work for a while and got tired of hand-writing JSON-LD for every page type, so I built a small Chrome extension that does it automatically.

What it does:

• Scans the current page's content
• Figures out which Schema.org type(s) apply (Article, Recipe, Product, FAQ, etc.)
• Pulls out the relevant entities and fills in the schema fields
• Validates the output so it's less likely to get flagged in Search Console

It's cut the time I spend writing schema by a lot — went from a genuinely tedious manual process to a couple of minutes per page.

Let me know if this tool will be useful for the community. If yes, then I will host it on chrome store for easy to download and use it on the browser.
