Search engines returned nothing for apte, not even by name: no site_url in mkdocs.yml (so no sitemap), a bare "Apte" title with a description that named neither Python nor LLM evals, and generic PyPI metadata. - mkdocs.yml: add site_url (enables sitemap.xml) and a keyworded site_description - docs/index.md, docs/evals.md: front matter title and description, intro paragraph with the terms people search for - pyproject.toml: PyPI description and keywords (llm-evals, evals, pytest-alternative) Verified with mkdocs build: sitemap.xml lists 27 URLs, home title is "Async-first Python testing and LLM evals - Apte".

Why
Search engines return nothing for apte, not even by name. Measured: 0 repo views in 14 days, no result for "apte python test framework",
site:renaudcepre.github.io/apteempty.Three causes on our side:
site_urlinmkdocs.yml, so mkdocs never generated a sitemap (/sitemap.xmlserved the home page)<title>was just "Apte", description named neither Python, pytest nor LLM evalsWhat
mkdocs.yml:site_url+ keywordedsite_descriptiondocs/index.md,docs/evals.md: front mattertitle/description, intro paragraph with the terms people actually search forpyproject.toml: description and keywords (llm-evals,llm-evaluation,evals,pytest-alternative)Done outside the PR (repo metadata): GitHub description and 10 topics.
Verified
mkdocs build:sitemap.xmlwith 27 URLs; home title "Async-first Python testing and LLM evals - Apte"; evals page title "LLM evals in Python, next to your tests - Apte".ruff checkandruff format --checkclean.Not in scope
Google Search Console submission (personal account). Ranking on "python async tests" needs a page that targets the query, not metadata.
