AI readiness audit
We will check whether the website is available for crawling and whether the page has the basic signals AI systems need to understand its content.
The check covers robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap.xml, Schema.org markup, and OpenGraph.
AI readiness FAQ
Learn about the technical signals that help AI systems discover and understand a website.
What is AI readiness for a website?
â–¼
It is a set of technical conditions that help AI systems and their bots discover website pages, access them, and understand their content.
What does the AI readiness audit check?
â–¼
The audit checks page availability, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, Title and Description metadata, Schema.org markup, and OpenGraph.
Do AI bots need robots.txt?
â–¼
Yes. Robots.txt can explicitly allow or block individual bots from crawling a website. The audit shows the status for supported AI bots.
Which AI bots does the service check?
â–¼
It currently checks OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot.
What does a blocked AI bot mean?
â–¼
Robots.txt prevents that bot from crawling the specified page. Depending on the bot, it may not retrieve the content for search, training, or answer generation.
Does allowing AI bots improve search rankings?
â–¼
There is no direct effect on traditional search rankings. It affects the technical availability of the website to the relevant AI systems.
Why check sitemap.xml?
â–¼
A sitemap helps bots discover important URLs. The audit checks its presence, availability, and references to it from robots.txt.
Why do AI systems need Title and Description?
â–¼
These meta tags briefly describe the page topic and help systems interpret its content more accurately.
What is the benefit of Schema.org markup?
â–¼
Structured data explicitly describes page entities such as an organisation, article, product, FAQ, and other content types.
Is one audit enough?
â–¼
No. Repeat the check after changes to robots.txt, the sitemap, page templates, or when AI platforms introduce new requirements.
