How the free AI-readiness check works
Technical signals, not live AI answers. The check reads public files and pages and reports what can stop AI crawlers from reading and citing your site.
What the check does and does not measure
Measured: direct checks
robots.txt rules, sitemap and llms.txt presence, schema markup, and FAQ and comparison pages.
Not measured: AI answers
The check does not run prompts in AI engines or read their answers.
Not measured: citations
The check does not count mentions or citations, and it does not detect hallucinations.
Not measured: trends
The check is a one-time snapshot. It does not monitor your site over time.
Passing the check does not guarantee that an AI engine will cite you. It shows that the technical signals do not block it.
The check sequence
1. Check crawler access
The check reads robots.txt and reports whether AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot are allowed to fetch your pages.
2. Check discovery files
The check fetches the sitemap and llms.txt and reports whether each file exists and can be read.
3. Check structure
The check looks for schema markup on key pages and for FAQ and comparison pages that answer buyer questions directly.
4. Fix and run the check again
Each finding says what to change. After you publish the fixes, run the check again to confirm the blocker is gone. The check does not track AI answers over time.
Why these signals matter
Access
If robots.txt blocks an AI crawler, that crawler cannot read your pages.
Discovery
A sitemap and an llms.txt file help crawlers and AI tools find your important pages.
Structure
Schema markup and FAQ and comparison pages make facts easier for machines to extract.
