An AI SEO audit checks what AI crawlers see, whether your content is citable, and whether your entity signals are clear, on top of the classic Google foundation. OpenAI's crawler documentation states that "GPTBot is used to make our generative AI foundation models more useful and safe." Allowing or blocking each of these bots is a choice, and many sites made it by accident. We test 15 bots by name inside a 157-check audit. For the dedicated AEO layer, run the full AEO audit.

Traditional SEO audits were built for Googlebot. A site that passes one can still be unreadable to every AI crawler on the web, unquotable when it is read, and anonymous as an entity. An AI SEO audit runs both layers.
A standard audit asks: can Googlebot read this page, is it indexed, is the title tag correct, does the site load in time, are there duplicate pages, are there broken links? These are correct questions. They are not enough.
Search crawlers, training crawlers and Google-Extended policies serve different purposes. Your robots.txt can control named agents selectively. A page that Googlebot can read may still restrict other named crawlers. Each policy needs a separate check. See how robots.txt blocks AI crawlers.
After checking access, review whether the fetched content answers the visitor’s question accurately. Clear structure can help readers, but question headings, answer blocks and llms.txt are not established citation requirements. Structured data should describe the visible content. Google requires no special schema or AI file for its AI search features.
A high technical audit score does not guarantee AI citations. Blocking GPTBot alone is a training-policy choice, not evidence that ChatGPT search cannot include the site.
The free scan gives you a scored verdict for every check above, with a plain-language explanation of what failed and why it matters: the exact robots.txt lines blocking each AI crawler, whether your structured data is present, typed and complete, whether your content is structured for extraction or buried in prose, and a ranked list of what to fix first, ordered by impact.
The $10 Full Report unseals the page-by-page detail and adds the PDF, prioritized action plan and AI-ready fix file. This page sits under the AI search optimization hub; the deeper single-topic audits are the GEO audit and AEO audit.
No. This audit reports fetched-page observations, crawler policies and available technical evidence. Actual citations can be measured from dated answer records, but this readiness scan does not collect those outcomes or infer their cause.
A standard audit checks what Google's crawler sees. An AI SEO audit also checks what AI crawlers see, whether your content is structured for extraction, and whether your entity signals are strong enough for a language model to reference you with confidence. You need both.
Category scores and selected findings are free: your whole site, up to 150 pages, with the selected findings ordered by priority. The $10 Full Report unseals the page-by-page detail and adds a PDF, a prioritized action plan and an AI-ready fix file.
The report tells you the exact line in robots.txt that blocks each crawler, the specific fields missing from your JSON-LD, and where to add answer blocks. Fix guides for every common failure live in the learn hub, and our free robots.txt generator and llms.txt generator are open to everyone.
Generative Engine Optimization focuses specifically on AI-answer visibility. An AI SEO audit is broader: it covers the traditional SEO foundation and the AI-specific layer. The two terms overlap; our scan covers both. The dedicated page is the GEO audit.
Free scan of your whole site, up to 150 pages. No email. Worst problem first.
