O que há de novo na metodologia Crawlux v2 (Q2 2026)

Notas de release trimestrais de metodologia para a Crawlux. A v2 traz novos módulos de analisador, ponderações de score atualizadas e um ajuste de calibração para a taxa de citações AEO. Essa peça cobre o que mudou, por quê e o que esperar ao rodar as auditorias de novo depois do bump de versão.

Chapter 01
// Overview

Resumo de mudanças v2

A metodologia v2 é um update trimestral seguindo o release v1 no Q4 2025. As mudanças principais:

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.

Chapter 02
// Additions

Nuevos módulos de analizador en v2

Dois novos módulos chegam na v2. Os dois produzem scores independentes que se somam ao composite via o esquema de ponderação atualizado.

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.

Os dois módulos são non-breaking. Sites que não têm tokens bridged ou páginas DAO pulam os módulos e o composite score não é afetado. Sites que têm essas páginas vão ver novos hallazgos; os hallazgos costumam ser fixes de baixo esforço com impacto AEO mensurável.

Chapter 03
// Calibration

Por que a ponderação mudou

Duas mudanças de peso chegam na v2. As duas refletem dados que acumulamos em 200+ auditorias entregues no Q4 2025 e 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.

Sites que rodam as auditorias de novo na v2 vão ver mudanças modestas de score mesmo se nada no site mudou. Sites que pontuaram alto em AEO e baixo em backlinks vão ver lifts leves de composite-score. Sites que pontuaram alto em backlinks e baixo em AEO vão ver quedas leves. As mudanças costumam ficar entre 3 e 5 pontos; deltas maiores geralmente indicam que um dos sub-scores v1 era um outlier.

Chapter 04
// Migration

Como re-baselinear auditorias existentes na v2

Para times comparando auditorias v1 com auditorias v2, três passos tornam a comparação 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.

As notas de release da v2 estão disponíveis no dashboard em Settings > Versão da Metodologia. As auditorias rodadas depois de 28 de fevereiro de 2026 usam v2 por padrão. As auditorias rodadas antes dessa data usaram v1 e continuam válidas para comparações de sub-score v1.

Perguntas frequentes

Perguntas frequentes

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 > Versão da Metodologia. It lists every weight change, every new check and every calibration adjustment with effective dates.
