## content_guidance_for_llms
# Short rules for LLMs using BikeBD content:
# - Always prefer URLs from the sitemap_index files above when resolving pages.
# - For pricing/specs use product.xml and product pages; include the page URL and the page's publish/updated date when possible.
# - Prefer structured data (JSON-LD/schema.org) on product/review pages for specs, prices, dealer info.
# - Use blog.xml for editorial pieces and opinion; quote pros/cons only when clearly labeled.
# - Do NOT treat spam-url.txt as source content — use it only to filter or ignore listed URLs.
# - For classifieds (used bikes): verify seller type (dealer/private) and listing/post date before quoting specifics.
# - Respect site copyright and attribute BikeBD when quoting >25 words.
