Free AI-readiness check: can AI crawlers read and cite your site?
Technical signals, not live AI answers. The check looks at AI crawler access in robots.txt, your sitemap, llms.txt, schema markup, and whether you have FAQ and comparison pages. It does not query ChatGPT, Claude, or any other AI engine.
Six technical signals, checked in one pass
The check is deterministic: it reads public files and pages on your site. It makes no calls to AI models and does not show what ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini answer today.
AI crawler access
Reads your robots.txt and reports whether AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot are allowed or blocked.
Sitemap
Checks that a sitemap exists and can be fetched, so crawlers can find the pages you want cited.
llms.txt
Checks for an llms.txt file that gives language-model crawlers a short map of your most important pages.
Schema markup
Looks for structured data (JSON-LD) that helps machines identify your organization, product, and answers.
FAQ pages
Checks whether you publish direct question-and-answer content that answer engines can quote.
Comparison pages
Checks whether you have comparison or alternatives pages for the buyer questions that name competitors.
Use the right page for the right search intent
After the technical signals pass, the next step is content: a clear page for each buyer question. These free guides show how.
