A useful assessment records which search path was used and which facts appeared in the final answer. An official company profile helps identify the entity, but its presence alone does not demonstrate a recommendation. ## Access and evidence Check | What the evidence establishes | Consumer surface | Record the exact Grok app or X experience and whether search was triggered. Grok search guidance. | API search | xAI documents separate Web Search and X Search tools. API tool configuration is not evidence of consumer-app exposure. | Crawler controls | As of 11 October 2026, our review of xAI's official search documentation and documentation index did not locate a verifiable publisher crawler UA/IP or role-specific robots standard. | Citation accounting | The API citations collection can include sources encountered during search but not cited in the final text. Count inline citations and supported claims separately. Citation definitions. | What remains unknown | The reviewed sources do not establish a special llms.txt or schema requirement for consumer Grok visibility. | ## Practical priorities for beauty businesses - Keep public company, product and evidence pages accessible, internally linked and clear about who owns each claim. - If the business already has an official X profile, check that its identity and linked website agree with the site's verified facts. - Do not invent a GrokBot or xAI-SearchBot firewall exception from an unofficial crawler directory. - Separate web pages from X posts in the source log and check the date and claim each source supports. - Keep consumer tests separate from API runs, especially those restricted to a chosen domain or X account. ## How to measure this surface Record search activation, sources encountered, final inline citations and brand mentions separately. A URL in an API source collection does not by itself show that Grok recommended the company. Unknown crawler controls remain an explicitly dated research gap. Follow the measurement methodology: keep retrieval, citation, factual accuracy and qualified enquiries as separate outcomes. ## Published evidence A published Grok sample is pending in the AI Supplier Index. This guide reports reviewed platform guidance, not a completed visibility baseline. See our measurement methodology for the evidence required before publishing results. ## Illustrative buyer questions > Which private-label acne patch manufacturers publish current product and sampling evidence? Provide sources. > Compare low-MOQ packaging options for an indie beauty launch and distinguish supplier claims from verified evidence. Question templates for beauty-sourcing research, not results from a new test. BeautyGEO service-provider discovery uses its own question set. ## Official sources - X: how Grok uses search - xAI: API Web Search - xAI: API X Search - xAI: retrieved sources and inline citations - xAI: official documentation index Guidance reviewed 11 October 2026. Access settings and valid markup do not guarantee indexing, citations or recommendations. FAQ Q: Should we add a Grok-specific crawler rule? A: Only with a verified official specification and a relevant access need. Our official-document review on 11 October 2026 did not locate a publisher crawler standard; that is a dated research limit, not a claim that no such crawler can ever exist. Q: Will posting on X make Grok recommend us? A: The existence of X Search does not prove that effect. Maintain factual profiles and evaluate actual answers before attributing a visibility change to posting. Q: Does an API citation list prove the website was quoted? A: No. xAI distinguishes sources encountered during retrieval from inline citations. Check the final answer and the specific claim it attributes to the source. *** ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQPage Grounding) ### Q: Should we add a Grok-specific crawler rule? **A**: Only with a verified official specification and a relevant access need.
