What does an AI SEO audit check?

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.

How is AI Scan My Site different from PageSpeed Insights?

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.

Can AI Scan My Site check AI crawler accessibility?

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.

AI SEO vs Traditional SEO: What's Actually Different in 2026?

Is AI SEO just a marketing buzzword, or has search engine optimization fundamentally changed? Here is the honest breakdown of what makes AI SEO different from traditional search optimization.

QUICK COMPARISON SUMMARY

Traditional SEO relies on keyword density, backlink counts, and meta tags for Google blue links. AI SEO focuses on machine-readable manifests (/llms.txt), Schema.org entity graphs, AI bot permissions (GPTBot), and direct-answer formatting for conversational AI models.

3 Core Shifts from Traditional SEO to AI SEO

1. From Links to Citations: Ranking #1 on Google is no longer enough if ChatGPT synthesizes an answer without referencing your brand.

2. From Keywords to Entities: AI search models evaluate entities (verified real-world organizations, authors, products) rather than exact keyword matches.

3. From HTML to Machine-Readable Text: Large Language Models prefer structured llms.txt files over heavy HTML wrappers.
