It inspects AI bot permissions in robots.txt (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot), checks for llms.txt context manifests, verifies JSON-LD schema entity graphs, audits vision AI alt text, and evaluates PageSpeed Core Web Vitals.
Google PageSpeed Insights focuses on frontend performance metrics (LCP, CLS, INP). AI Scan My Site integrates official PageSpeed performance data with dedicated AI bot crawlability, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of optimizing content, direct answers, and FAQ schemas for conversational voice assistants and AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) ensures your brand entities, structured schemas, vector context, and authoritative citations are recognized across LLM search indexes and AI overviews.
Yes. Our scanner checks whether AI user-agents (including GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended) are allowed or blocked in your robots.txt configuration.
llms.txt is an emerging web standard that provides clean markdown context summaries of your website's key pages, purpose, and APIs specifically formatted for Large Language Model indexing.

An AI SEO Audit is a comprehensive technical evaluation that measures how effectively search engines and artificial intelligence platforms (such as ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and Claude) can crawl, render, interpret, and cite your website. Unlike traditional SEO audits that focus strictly on Googlebot keyword rankings and backlink counts, an AI SEO audit inspects AI bot permissions in robots.txt, evaluates llms.txt context standards, verifies JSON-LD schema graph entities, and measures machine-readability.

Modern search strategy requires balancing four distinct pillars of web auditing. Failing in any single category directly degrades search traffic:
Checks site architecture, SSL HTTPS encryption, canonical URLs, robots.txt syntax, XML sitemaps, and HTTP status codes.
Evaluates H1-H3 heading hierarchy, meta title lengths, keyword intent matching, and internal link structure.
Optimizes direct answers, FAQ schema, bulleted summaries, and concise definitions for conversational voice & chat assistants.
Ensures entity clarity across LLM search indexes, llms.txt endpoints, vector embeddings, and authoritative citations.

Traditional crawlers download HTML documents and index text strings. AI engines operate differently: they process page content through LLM context windows, evaluate semantic relationships, and select authoritative source citations to answer complex user queries.

Over 85% of audited websites suffer from preventable technical flaws. Below are the most common findings surfaced during automated scans:

See how SaaS founders, digital marketing agencies, and e-commerce brands use AI Scan My Site to audit their technical footprint, unlock LLM bot crawling, and land citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude:
"Traditional crawlers told us our site was 100% fine, but ChatGPT Search couldn't find our product docs. AI Scan My Site immediately caught that our robots.txt was blocking GPTBot. Fixed it in 5 minutes!"
"The llms.txt context generator is a total game changer. We deployed the output file and saw our store mentioned in Perplexity shopping queries within 2 weeks."
"We use AI Scan My Site as our secret weapon for client audits. The JSON-LD schema builder and complete downloadable fix reports save our developers 10+ hours per site."
Traditional SEO audit tools were built for the 2010s Google desktop web. They look for keyword density and backlink counts, completely ignoring how modern LLMs process information. AI search engines retrieve information via vector embeddings, check machine readability via llms.txt, and require complete entity schemas to cite your site as an answer.
Ensure your software documentation, API endpoints, and pricing tiers are formatted in clean markdown so ChatGPT and Perplexity can accurately summarize your platform.
Optimize local Organization schema, NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency, and geotargeted entity tags to ensure voice assistants recommend your business.
Validate product availability, price currency, SKU identification, and image vision ALT tags to qualify for generative AI shopping answers.

Discover how businesses resolve critical AI vulnerability flags, optimize their structured data, and double their organic search citations across AI platforms:
By fixing a blocked GPTBot rule in robots.txt and deploying product Schema.org JSON-LD markup, direct referral traffic from ChatGPT Search increased by 210% within 30 days.
Adding an automated /llms.txt context manifest enabled Perplexity and Claude to extract software features directly, resulting in top 3 citations for competitive B2B queries.
Using AI Scan My Site's automated 12-point audit checklist, agency engineers cut client technical site audit prep time from 8 hours down to 15 minutes per site.
To achieve 100/100 search readiness, evaluate your website against these 11 technical diagnostic categories:
