How to trigger site recrawls with your AI

Connect ContentKing to your agent once. From then on, your AI handles the manual work of notifying the crawler whenever your site changes.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How do I tell my AI to trigger a site recrawl?

Just tell your AI client that you've updated a page or a sitemap. It uses the ContentKing connection to send the notification instantly. You'll get immediate crawler updates without logging into a dashboard.

Where every update lands.

The results of your updates

Your AI manages the communication between your content changes and the ContentKing crawler.

AUTOMATED

Instant crawler triggers

The AI sends the signal to ContentKing as soon as you confirm a change. This ensures the crawler sees your new content right away.

SYNCED

Sitemap alignment

When you update your sitemap, the AI notifies the crawler to re-index the new paths. Your site structure stays current.

VERIFIED

Change confirmation

The AI confirms the notification was sent successfully. You get peace of mind that the crawler is on its way.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI cannot fix SEO errors it finds. You still need to look at the crawl reports to decide on actual site fixes.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as the bridge between your content updates and the ContentKing crawler.

  1. Detect change

    You tell your agent that you just finished editing a specific URL or a sitemap file.

    notify_page_update

  2. Trigger crawl

    The AI uses the specific tool to tell ContentKing to start a new crawl of that page.

    notify_page_update

  3. Update sitemaps

    If you've reorganized your site, the AI tells ContentKing to look at the new sitemap.

    notify_sitemap_update

  4. Confirm action

    The AI reports back to you that the request was sent to the crawler.
