Choose where your link sends people
One setting decides whether your CoreLoop link opens your page, your own website, or both — and none of the three changes whether AI agents can reach you.
Outcome: your CoreLoop link lands people where you want them, and the dashboard tells you honestly which of the three settings you are actually in.
You need: a published profile, and owner or admin access — only those two roles can change it.
What this does not touch
The destination decides where a person lands. It does not decide whether AI agents can reach you: your agent endpoints, agent card and llms.txt stay live on coreloop.so on every plan for as long as you are published.
Step 1 — Open the choice
Settings → Channels, under Where visitors land: CoreLoop page, My own website, or Both enabled (your page serves and your website carries the discovery snippet).
The highlighted tab is not a stored preference read back to you. It is computed from what your profile actually does — page visible, snippet on, usable website on file. A stored label can drift away from behaviour and start lying; a derived one cannot.
Step 2 — Pick the one that matches your business
Website nobody has time to touch? CoreLoop page. Proud of your site and protective of its traffic? My own website — the page stops showing, agent connections carry on unchanged. Want both? Both enabled is Starter and above. The two single-surface options are free on every plan, and so is the snippet itself; what a paid plan buys is running both at once.
Step 3 — Confirm the switch
Changing tabs asks first, then writes the whole configuration in one action rather than one switch at a time, so there is no moment in between where your link points at nothing.
Step 4 — For website or Both, check the address
Both need an address CoreLoop can genuinely send someone to: an ordinary http:// or https:// address that does not point back at CoreLoop or at your own custom domain, either being a loop that ends in a 404. Missing or unusable, and the switch is refused rather than stranding your link. Page hidden with no website is the one state no label describes, so the panel warns about it instead of showing a contented tab.
Step 5 — Know what a downgrade does
Both belongs to the paid plans, so a lapsed subscription is reconciled back to the CoreLoop page: the page keeps serving, the snippet channel switches off. The fallback is the page rather than a hidden page, so you always keep a working link. It is not restored on re-upgrade — nothing records that you once chose Both, so re-pick it.
Done when
The tab you meant reads Active, your link opens where you expect it from a phone with no session, and there is no dead-link warning.
Worth knowing: the destination has exactly one effect on agents, and it is narrow — the in-page tools your own website serves are handed out only while the website channel is on and your plan allows the destination you are in. More: Where people and agents find you.
