Small Business on Essential
When this pattern fits
Start here if your site matches the profile below. The pattern gives you a concrete starting point: which preset to pick, which modules to enable first, and what to leave alone.
Recommended preset
Choose the preset that solves the main problem with the least unnecessary restriction.
For this pattern, start from the documented preset and then validate whether your site truly needs stricter controls.
First modules to review
Review these first:
- AI governance
- archive control
- bad bots or SEO tool protection when relevant
- WooCommerce or crawl-trap controls when relevant
- llms.txt when AI usage clarity matters
Risks to watch
The main risk in this pattern is overreacting and publishing a file that is stricter than your actual business need.
Safe wording
When you explain this setup, say what the pattern is designed to do. Do not turn the pattern into a promise of crawler obedience or guaranteed SEO outcomes.
