What does the AI readiness audit check?
AI crawler access
The audit checks whether major AI and answer-engine crawlers can reach your public pages. For ChatGPT-style discovery, explicit access for search crawlers matters more than broad keyword stuffing. Keep robots.txt clear, avoid accidental blocks, and expose your sitemap.
Structured answers
Answer engines prefer pages with clear headings, direct answers, source-like facts, and structured data where it matches visible content. Add concise definitions, FAQ sections, comparison tables, and schema for pages that already show that content.
LLM-readable context
A short llms.txt file gives AI readers a curated map of your product, docs, tools, pricing, and comparison pages. It should complement sitemap.xml, not replace it.
FAQ
Is AEO different from SEO?
AEO is a layer on top of SEO. Strong crawlability, clear content, internal links, and structured data still matter.
Does allowing AI crawlers guarantee AI citations?
No. It only removes access barriers. You still need useful, authoritative, easy-to-quote pages.
