Questions we get asked

AI visibility means whether AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI surface your business when someone asks a question in your category. Google returns ten links. AI tools return one answer. If your site is not in that answer, you get zero traffic from it — no matter where you rank on Google.

GEO is the practice of making your website readable, citable, and trustworthy for AI search engines. It covers structured data (Schema.org), content written to answer questions directly, llms.txt, robots.txt permissions for AI crawlers, and entity clarity. AgentReady audits your site against these signals and scores you across six categories.

A standard SEO audit checks rankings, backlinks, page speed, and Core Web Vitals. An AI readiness audit checks different signals: whether AI crawlers can access your site, whether your Schema.org markup lets machines extract your data, whether you have an llms.txt file, and whether your content is structured for citation. You need both.

Yes. Structured data is the strongest signal for AI visibility. Pages with proper Schema.org markup are 2.5x more likely to appear in AI-generated answers. In 2026, structured data is not an SEO enhancement. It is how AI agents understand what your business is, what you offer, and how to represent you accurately.

Yes. The audit works on any publicly accessible website regardless of CMS, tech stack, or industry. It reads your site the same way AI crawlers do. If a page requires a login, that content is not included in the scan.

No. The crawler is lightweight and reads pages sequentially. It does not hammer your server or trigger rate limiting. Your visitors will not notice anything.

Run an audit any time you make significant changes: new pages, schema updates, robots.txt changes, or content restructures. For ongoing monitoring, re-audit every 90 days as a baseline.

Yes. Paste any public URL and the audit runs identically. Auditing two or three competitors alongside your own site gives you a clear picture of where you have gaps and where you already have an advantage.

Start with the highest-impact fixes: add JSON-LD Schema.org markup (Organisation, Product, Article, FAQPage), allow AI crawlers in robots.txt, create an llms.txt file, and make sure your meta and OpenGraph tags are complete on every page. Every fix in your report includes a code block you paste straight in.

llms.txt is a plain-text file you place at your domain root, similar to robots.txt. It tells AI systems what your site covers, which pages matter, and how your content is organised. It takes under 30 minutes to create. AgentReady checks whether yours exists and whether it is formatted correctly.

We check GPTBot and ChatGPT-User (OpenAI), ClaudeBot and Claude-Web (Anthropic), Google-Extended (Gemini), PerplexityBot, Bingbot (Microsoft Copilot), Applebot-Extended, Bytespider, CCBot, FacebookBot, and Amazonbot. Blocked crawlers get flagged with instructions to fix them.

The highest-impact schema types are Organisation (tells AI who you are), FAQPage (gives AI direct question-answer pairs to cite), Product and Offer (price, availability, and variant data), and Article (authorship and publication date). Adding FAQPage schema to any content page takes under 20 minutes and is one of the strongest single improvements you can make.

Many sites added broad Disallow: / rules or blocked all unknown bots in their robots.txt during 2023–2024 when AI crawler traffic increased. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot were added after most of those rules were written. The result is that a significant number of sites are unknowingly blocking AI crawlers entirely. AgentReady checks each crawler individually and flags blocked ones with the exact robots.txt fix.
