Getting a clean site capture: what the AI reads on your page

An outline of what the site capture reads on your page and how to help it: visible copy, headings, meta tags, colors, fonts and your logo.

Draft: owner to write. This post is an outline. The headings and bullets show what it will cover; the full text comes before launch.

What the capture does

  • Loads your page in a browser at desktop width (1440px) and phone width (390px).
  • Takes full-page screenshots and crops sections such as the hero, features and pricing.
  • Reads the page title, meta description, headings and visible copy.
  • Looks for logo candidates in the header and in the favicon.

What the AI does with it

  • Summarises the product name, a one-line value proposition, the audience and three to six benefits, using only the copy it found.
  • Builds a brand kit: colors from your CSS and computed styles, fonts from the computed font family, matched to the nearest Google font when needed.
  • You confirm or edit all of it before a script is written.

How to get a clean capture

  • Paste a public page. Pages behind a login can't be captured.
  • Use real text for headlines, not text inside images.
  • Use one clear main heading and landmark elements (header, main, sections, footer).
  • Keep a meta description that says what the product does.
  • Put an SVG or high-resolution logo in the header.

What the capture skips

  • Pages marked noindex.
  • Private and internal network addresses.
  • Anything past the page size and time limits.

When the capture gets it wrong

  • Edit the brand kit: swap the logo, fix a color, choose a different font.
  • Upload your own screenshots or screen recordings.
  • No site yet? Describe the product in a few lines instead.

To add before publishing

  • A worked example: one sample page and the brand kit it produced.
  • Check every detail above against the Phase 2 build.
