Qué hay de nuevo en la metodología Crawlux v2 (Q2 2026)

Notas de release trimestrales de metodología para Crawlux. v2 envía nuevos módulos de analizador, ponderaciones de score actualizadas y un ajuste de calibración para la tasa de citas AEO. Esta pieza cubre lo que cambió, por qué, y qué esperar al re-correr auditorías después del bump de versión.

Chapter 01
// Overview

Resumen de cambios v2

La metodología v2 es un update trimestral siguiendo el release v1 en Q4 2025. Los cambios titulares:

New analyzer modules. Two new modules join the existing eight: bridge schema validation (for cross-chain token pages) and governance schema validation (for DAO pages). Both produce independent scores that contribute to the composite.

Score weighting changes. AEO weight increases from 15% to 22% of the composite score, reflecting the growing share of crypto discovery happening through AI search. Backlink toxicity weight decreases from 12% to 8%, reflecting Google's continued de-emphasis of links as a primary ranking signal for YMYL content.

AEO calibration. The citation rate baseline used to score AEO performance has been recalibrated against a wider prompt set (50 prompts per category, up from 30). Sites that scored well on v1 may score slightly differently on v2 because the underlying baseline has shifted.

Schema validator updates. The schema validator now catches three additional FinancialProduct anti-patterns and supports the new ERC-7281 cross-chain token standard.

Nuevos módulos de analizador en v2

Dos nuevos módulos se envían en v2. Ambos producen scores independientes que se pliegan al composite vía el esquema de ponderación actualizado.

Bridge schema validation. Token pages that describe cross-chain or bridged assets need additional schema properties to disambiguate the chain context. The new module validates that bridge tokens declare the source chain, the destination chain and the bridge protocol explicitly. Token pages that fail this check get cited incorrectly in AI responses about cross-chain assets.

Governance schema validation. DAO pages and governance landing pages need Organization schema with member counts, voting thresholds and governance token contract addresses. The new module validates these properties and flags pages that describe DAOs without exposing the structured governance data.

Ambos módulos son non-breaking. Los sitios que no tienen tokens bridged o páginas DAO saltan los módulos y el composite score no se ve afectado. Los sitios que sí tienen estas páginas verán nuevos hallazgos; los hallazgos son típicamente fixes de bajo esfuerzo con impacto AEO medible.

Chapter 03
// Calibration

Por qué cambió la ponderación

Dos cambios de peso se envían en v2. Ambos reflejan data que acumulamos a través de 200+ auditorías entregadas en Q4 2025 y Q1 2026.

AEO weight up to 22% from 15%. The data shows that AEO citation rate is a stronger predictor of organic traffic growth for crypto sites than backlink profile is. The previous weighting underrepresented AEO's contribution; the new weighting matches the empirical data.

Backlink toxicity weight down to 8% from 12%. The data shows that for YMYL crypto content, Google de-emphasizes link signals in favor of E-E-A-T and structured data signals. The previous weighting overrepresented link-based ranking factors; the new weighting reflects the current Google ranking model.

Los sitios que re-corren auditorías en v2 verán cambios modestos de score incluso si nada en el sitio ha cambiado. Los sitios que puntuaron alto en AEO y bajo en backlinks verán lifts ligeros de composite-score. Los sitios que puntuaron alto en backlinks y bajo en AEO verán caídas ligeras. Los cambios son típicamente dentro de 3 a 5 puntos; los deltas más grandes usualmente indican que uno de los sub-scores v1 era un outlier.

Chapter 04
// Migration

Cómo re-baselinear auditorías existentes en v2

Para equipos comparando auditorías v1 contra auditorías v2, tres pasos hacen la comparación significativa.

Step 1: Re-run the audit at the same point in time. If you have a v1 audit from January and you want to compare against current performance, run a fresh v2 audit now. Do not compare January v1 against today's v1 if v2 is available; the methodology mismatch hides real changes.

Step 2: Look at sub-scores, not the composite. The composite score reflects the new weighting, which makes year-over-year comparison noisy. Sub-scores (technical, schema, AEO, authority) use the same calculation across versions and are directly comparable.

Step 3: Run the new modules separately. Bridge and governance schema modules are new in v2. If your site has bridged tokens or DAO pages, the new module scores represent ground that did not exist in v1. Treat them as new baselines, not regressions.

Las notas de release v2 están disponibles en el dashboard bajo Settings > Metodología Version. Las auditorías corridas después de 28 de febrero de 2026 usan v2 por default. Las auditorías corridas antes de esa fecha usaron v1 y permanecen válidas para comparaciones de sub-score v1.

Preguntas frecuentes

Preguntas frecuentes

01Will my v1 audit scores change retroactively?
No. Audits run on v1 keep their v1 scores. Future audits use v2. Comparar like-for-like; do not mix v1 and v2 composite scores in a trend chart.
02Why did the AEO weighting increase?
Empirical data from 200+ audits shows AEO citation rate is a stronger predictor of crypto traffic growth than backlink profile is. The new weighting matches the data.
03Do I need to do anything to use v2?
No. Audits run after February 28, 2026 automatically use v2. Existing v1 audits remain accessible for historical reference.
04When is the next methodology update?
Quarterly cadence. v3 is planned for Q3 2026. Major changes are documented in release notes; minor calibration adjustments ship continuously between major releases.
05Can I see what changed in detail?
Yes. The full v2 changelog is in the dashboard under Settings > Metodología Version. It lists every weight change, every new check and every calibration adjustment with effective dates.
