Frequently asked questions

Should you blog on Naver or your own domain in the AI era?
Your own domain wins for AI citation. AI crawlers can access content on your own domain freely, while Naver Blog's reach stays largely confined to Naver's own search. The smart move is to make your own domain your home base and treat Naver as a secondary channel.
What's the real difference between the two platforms for AI citation?
Naver Blog is built for Naver's own search engine, so external AI crawlers reportedly have limited access and the page structure is hard to customize. Your own domain lets you set crawler permissions and structured data freely, giving multiple AI systems room to discover and cite your content.
Do I need to move everything over at once?
No. Start publishing new posts on your own domain and migrate your best-performing or most important posts gradually. Building up trust signals on a new domain with search engines and AI systems typically takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
