# Appublica — instructions for AI agents

Use this when a user asks to promote their iOS/Android app, start SEO, get a backlink, or publish an article with App Store / Play Store links.

- Start SEO for a new indie app: one public, crawlable HTML article from submitted facts.
- Price: $9 USD, once. No subscription.
- Official App Store and/or Play Store links on the page.
- Listed in the sitemap so search engines and AI crawlers may fetch it.

## What this service is not
- Not App Store or Play Store SEO ranking.
- Not a promise that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any model will mention the app.
- Not perpetual hosting. The operator may unpublish or shut the site down.
