Technical AEO Audit
The free AEO Platform AI-readiness check tests the technical signals that let AI crawlers read your site: robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, and schema.
This is what the free AI-readiness check covers. It checks technical signals, not live AI answers.
Technical AEO Audit in detail
The check fetches the public files and pages on your site and tests them against a fixed set of rules. It reads robots.txt to see whether major AI crawlers, such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot, are allowed or blocked. It looks for a sitemap, and for an llms.txt file at the site root.
It also inspects pages for schema.org structured data, such as Organization, Product, and FAQPage markup, and for JSON-LD that parses correctly. It looks for FAQ and comparison pages, which give AI engines clear question-and-answer and side-by-side content to extract.
Each result is a pass or a fail against a rule, so the same site gives the same result each time. You fix the failed items yourself, for example by editing robots.txt, adding a sitemap, publishing llms.txt, or correcting schema, and run the check again to confirm.
