Technical AEO Audit
Find every technical issue that blocks AI crawlers from reading, indexing, and citing your content.
Technical AEO Audit in detail
The audit begins with a crawl of your site that mirrors the behaviour of major AI crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and others. The crawler checks each page for accessibility, rendering completeness, and structured data presence. Simultaneously, it inspects site-level files: robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap.xml, and .well-known/ai-plugin.json.
Findings are organised into five audit categories: crawler access (robots.txt rules, crawl directives, IP-level blocks), content parsability (client-side rendering, iframe-heavy layouts, content behind authentication), structured data (schema.org markup, JSON-LD validity, entity completeness), AI-specific configuration (llms.txt, .well-known files, meta directives for AI), and performance (page speed factors that affect crawl depth and extraction quality).
Each finding includes a severity rating (critical, high, medium, low), a plain-language explanation, the affected URLs, and a step-by-step fix instruction. Findings are linked to the Action Plans feature so you can convert audit results into assigned tasks. Re-auditing after fixes shows what has been resolved and what remains, giving you a clear progress trail.
