How do I get my company recommended by DeepSeek?
To be recommended by DeepSeek, publish public, indexed pages that state clearly what your company does, for whom and at what price, the same everywhere, and test with a fixed set of questions with web search on and off. DeepSeek documents no search crawler or index partner, so there is no special rule to add. Nobody can guarantee a recommendation.

Does DeepSeek search the web or answer from training?
Both, depending on the mode the user picks:
| Mode | Where the answer comes from | What you can influence |
|---|---|---|
| Web search on | Pages found at the time of the question | Public, indexed, clear pages |
| Web search off | What the model learned in training | Consistent facts published long enough to be learned |
Should I add a DeepSeek rule to robots.txt?
No. DeepSeek publishes no crawler name for site owners, so an invented rule does nothing. Keep the site open to crawlers in general, serve the text in the HTML and check your server logs to see what actually reads it.
Do I need pages in Chinese to appear in DeepSeek?
No: DeepSeek answers in the language of the question, so write pages in the languages your buyers use. If you sell in Latin America, Spanish and Portuguese pages matter more than Chinese ones.
How do I test whether DeepSeek recommends my company?
Write five to ten questions a buyer would ask, run them in DeepSeek with web search on and off, and repeat the same set every month. easyIndex adds the side you cannot see in a chat: AI crawler reads and visits arriving from chat.deepseek.com, per page.
Step by step
- Make the site public and indexed. No login walls on key pages, a sitemap, and verification in Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
- State the core facts. Write what the company does, for whom, where and at what price, the same on every page.
- Write one page per buyer question. Answer in the first sentences, then give facts with numbers, dates and sources.
- Fix a test set. Pick five to ten buyer questions and run them with web search on and off.
- Measure and repeat. Repeat the test monthly and track visits from chat.deepseek.com, then write the next pages where the data points.
Common mistakes
- Adding a made-up 'DeepSeekBot' rule to robots.txt and assuming it changes anything.
- Testing one question once, with web search off, and treating it as the result.
- Translating the site into Chinese while buyers ask in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
- Publishing different prices on different pages, which the model may learn both ways.
How easyIndex solves it
easyIndex has your coding agent build these pages over MCP, audits each one, checks it live, notifies Bing via IndexNow and measures AI visitors and crawler reads per page, for US$ 30 per website a month, with a 7-day free trial.
Frequently asked questions
Does DeepSeek have a crawler I should allow?
DeepSeek documents none for site owners. Do not invent a rule; keep the site open and check your logs.
Can I pay to appear in DeepSeek?
DeepSeek publishes no paid placement in its answers. Visibility comes from public, consistent pages.
How long until DeepSeek knows my company?
With web search on, as soon as your pages are indexed and found; without it, only after a future model is trained on them.
Will DeepSeek recommend my company for sure?
No one can promise that. You can publish clear, consistent pages and measure with a fixed test set and real visits.
