What is an AI SEO audit?

An AI SEO audit evaluates 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 alongside traditional Google search crawlers.

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.

Does robots.txt Block ChatGPT from Your Website? (How to Check)

You set up your website, published great content, and waited for AI visitors to arrive. But when you search for your business on ChatGPT, it acts like your site doesn't exist. Before you rewrite your entire homepage, check one simple file: your robots.txt.

Why Web Hosts Block AI Crawlers Without Telling You

Here is the frustrating part: you might not have blocked ChatGPT yourself. Over the past two years, several popular web hosts and security plugins (like Cloudflare, WP Engine, and SiteGround) started enabling default "Block AI Crawlers" toggles to save server bandwidth.

While that protects your server from aggressive web scrapers, it also hides your site from modern AI search engines like ChatGPT Search and Perplexity.

How to Fix Your robots.txt Rules

Open your browser and visit https://yourwebsite.com/robots.txt. Look for any section containing User-agent: GPTBot or User-agent: PerplexityBot.

If you see Disallow: / under those bots, replace it with this clean, friendly configuration:

# Allow AI search engines to index public pages
User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /
Disallow: /admin/

User-agent: PerplexityBot
Allow: /
Disallow: /admin/

Pro Tip: Give ChatGPT 24-48 hours after updating your file to re-crawl your domain and index your latest changes.
