Customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI for recommendations. We measure the signals assistants need to find, read and cite your site — and which AI crawlers you're blocking without knowing it.
Free account · 3 audits a month · AEO + GEO + AIO scored
When someone asks an assistant instead of searching, there is no page two — the answer names a handful of sites and everyone else is invisible. Getting named isn't luck: assistants favor sites they can crawl, parse and verify. All three are measurable, and none of them show up in a classic SEO audit.
No black box: every pillar below is scored from signals we actually read off your pages and robots.txt. Your report shows each sub-score with the exact signals behind it.
Can your content BE the answer?
Would an AI trust you enough to cite you?
Can AI systems even read your site?
An inherited robots.txt rule, an over-eager bot blocker, a CDN default — and every assistant behind that crawler goes blind to your site. It's one of the most common findings in this audit, and one of the fastest to fix. We test all six:
Scores are deterministic — same input, same score. How we calculate scores. And to be clear: this measures your readiness, not your position inside any assistant's answers — no tool can reliably measure that. Just want the crawler check? It's free with no signup.
Classic SEO earns you a ranked position in a list of links. AI search optimization earns you a place inside the answer itself — AEO makes your content answerable (FAQ schema, question headings, lists), GEO makes it citable (authorship, dates, entity schema, sources). Different signals, and strong Google rankings don't automatically transfer.
No — and be wary of any tool that claims to. Assistant answers aren't a stable, measurable index. What we measure is your readiness: whether AI crawlers can access your site at all, and whether your content carries the structural signals assistants need to find, read and cite it.
llms.txt is an emerging convention — a plain-text file that tells AI systems what your site is about and which pages matter. It's cheap to add and an early-adopter signal; the audit checks whether you publish one.
We test your robots.txt against six: GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Google-Extended (Gemini training), CCBot (Common Crawl) and Applebot-Extended. Any of them blocked means the corresponding assistants can't read — or cite — your site.
Yes. Create a free account (no credit card) and you get 3 full audits every month — each includes the complete SEO report alongside the AI-search scores.
Not necessarily. AI visibility depends on crawler access and machine-readable structure, not just authority. A top-ranking site with GPTBot blocked in robots.txt is invisible to ChatGPT browsing — and that's one of the most common findings in this audit.
Run the audit above for your AEO, GEO and AIO scores — then, if the gaps need expert hands, that's literally what we do.
