About AI Search Readiness
AI search readiness measures whether a website has the foundational files, metadata, and crawler policies that AI systems use to understand and reference web content. It is not a guarantee of AI visibility โ it is a checklist of best practices.
- AI search crawlers โ OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, and PerplexityBot fetch pages to answer user queries. Having the right policies in place helps these systems access your content.
- Structured data โ JSON-LD schema helps AI systems parse content by providing machine-readable context.
- Content accessibility โ llms.txt, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml are the three files that control how AI systems discover and understand your site.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good AI search readiness score?
A score above 60% means you have the basic foundations. Above 80% is strong. 100% means all checked items are in place โ but it does not guarantee AI citations, ranking improvements, or featured snippets.
Does the tool actually crawl my website?
No. This tool does not access or crawl your website. You enter what you know about your site โ the tool evaluates your readiness based on your inputs against AI search best practices.
Is llms.txt really necessary?
It is recommended but not required. llms.txt is an experimental format that provides AI systems with a human-written site summary. It helps AI search tools understand your site structure, but it is not an official standard.
What is the difference between blocking training crawlers and search crawlers?
Training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot) use your content to improve AI models. Search crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot) fetch pages to answer user queries in real time. Most sites allow search crawlers for referral traffic while blocking training crawlers.
