AI search readiness

Is your site ready for
AI search?

Nine pass or fail checks on the files AI and search engines read first. A checklist, not a ranking predictor.

Free. We read robots.txt, your sitemap and llms.txt only.

Per-bot detail: AI crawler checker (16 bots). Sitemap detail: robots.txt and sitemap checker. Whether you are cited: AI visibility checker.

Free, no account. We read your public robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt, nothing else.

How to use it

  1. 1
    Type your website

    We read its robots.txt, its sitemap and its llms.txt, the public files crawlers read first.

  2. 2
    Read the score

    Nine checks, each pass or fail: five search bots allowed, robots.txt readable, a sitemap declared, the sitemap loads, an llms.txt exists.

  3. 3
    Fix the failed lines

    Each one says what to change. Start with a blocked search bot: it keeps that engine from reading your pages at all.

Questions

What does the score count?

Nine checks, one point each. Five are bots allowed for your homepage in robots.txt: OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT search), PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot and Bingbot. The other four: robots.txt can be read, it declares a sitemap, a sitemap loads, and you publish an llms.txt.

Is this a ranking or citation predictor?

No. It is a checklist of the files that let search and AI engines read your site. Passing every check means nothing on your side is turning those crawlers away at robots.txt. It does not mean you will rank or be cited.

What can it not see?

A CDN or firewall that blocks bots before robots.txt matters (for example Cloudflare’s AI bot setting), whether ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google actually cite your pages, your rankings, and anything beyond your homepage path. Our free AI visibility checker tests whether you are cited.

Do I need an llms.txt?

It is optional. llms.txt is a community proposal, not a standard. Google says Google Search ignores it, and no major vendor we checked documents its crawlers using it. We count it because it is cheap to add and some tools read it, not because it moves rankings.

Why are Googlebot and Bingbot in an AI check?

Google AI Overviews draw on Google Search, and Microsoft’s Bing index feeds Copilot. If those two crawlers cannot read a page, the AI answers built on them have less to work with.

My site passes. Why am I still not cited?

Being readable is the entry ticket, not the result. AI engines cite pages that answer the question clearly. A firewall may also be turning crawlers away, which this check cannot see.

Which tool shows each bot in detail?

The AI crawler checker lists 16 AI bots one by one, including the training bots, with the rule that decided each.

Is it free?

Yes, with a fair limit per visitor. No account needed.
