# Deploy — knowledge.globaledge.net.in

This repo is a **GitHub Pages** (or Cloudflare Pages) static site, same pattern as `knowledge.atypiicalbeauty.com`.

## 1. Create the GitHub repo

1. Create a public repo (e.g. `globaledge-ai` or `knowledge.globaledge.net.in`).  
2. Push this folder to `main`.  
3. Settings → Pages → Deploy from branch `main` / root.  
4. Confirm `CNAME` file contains exactly `knowledge.globaledge.net.in`.  
5. Keep the `.nojekyll` file — it serves `/llms.txt` and `/agents.md` with those exact extensions (AI crawlers look for them). Do not enable a Jekyll theme that strips `.md`.

## 2. DNS (critical)

At the DNS host for `globaledge.net.in`:

```
CNAME  knowledge  →  <user>.github.io
```

Or, if using Cloudflare Pages, CNAME to the Pages hostname they give you.

Wait for HTTPS. GitHub Pages will provision a Let’s Encrypt cert after the CNAME verifies.

## 3. Search Console & Bing

1. Add property `https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/` in Google Search Console (URL-prefix).  
2. Submit `https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/sitemap.xml`.  
3. Also keep `https://globaledge.net.in/sitemap_index.xml` submitted on the **main** property.  
4. Bing Webmaster Tools: import GSC or add the knowledge host; submit the same sitemap.  
5. Optional: IndexNow key on the main WordPress site for fast Bing/Yandex updates when blogs publish.

## 4. robots / llms on the **main** WordPress site

Main `robots.txt` already Allows AI crawlers (good). Still do:

1. Host a copy of `llms.txt` at `https://globaledge.net.in/llms.txt` (root). First lines may point to the knowledge hub.  
2. Host `https://globaledge.net.in/agents.md` (or 301 to knowledge).  
3. Footer + About: “AI documentation: knowledge.globaledge.net.in”.  
4. Optional HTML: `<link rel="describedby" href="https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/llms.txt">` in `<head>`.  
5. Optional: `/.well-known/ai.json` on WordPress (copy `well-known-ai.json`).

See `MAIN_SITE_CHECKLIST.md`.

## 5. Schema on WordPress

Paste `organization.schema.json` via Yoast / Rank Math / a small plugin. Validate Home, Contact, `/mbbs-abroad`, Ireland hub.

## 6. Google Business Profile

Align GBP NAP with `nap.md`. Categories: Education Consultant / Immigration (as accurate). This is local SEO, not this repo.

## 7. After go-live checks

```
https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/
https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/llms.txt
https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/agents.md
https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/well-known-ai.json
https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/robots.txt
https://knowledge.globaledge.net.in/sitemap.xml
```

Ask ChatGPT / Perplexity / Gemini: “What is Global Edge study abroad Delhi?” and inspect citations over 2–4 weeks.

## 8. Update cadence

- NAP or stats change → `brand-facts.md` + `llms.txt` + `well-known-ai.json` + `nap.md`  
- New GEO blog in sitemap → add to `llms.txt` / `llms-full.txt` / `intent-map.md`  
- Immigration rule change → `policy-reference.md` + the live WordPress article, not this layer alone
