About this tool

See how your site stacks up against competitors on the signals that matter for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google — without a backlink database or keyword tool.

Compare your site against competitors on AI crawler access, llms.txt, sitemap, schema, and indexability — the technical signals Ahrefs does not specialize in.

What we check

In your free report

  • Overall crawl readiness score (homepage)
  • robots.txt access for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, Bingbot
  • llms.txt and XML sitemap presence
  • JSON-LD schema types on the homepage
  • HTTPS and indexability (no unintended noindex)
Best practices

Recommendations from official docs

Compare apples to apples

Use direct competitors in the same niche. A news site and a SaaS tool will differ on schema and llms.txt — focus on bots and crawlability gaps you can actually fix.

Fix your site first, not theirs

If competitors allow OAI-SearchBot and you block it, update robots.txt before worrying about their backlink profile or keyword rankings.

Export for your developer

Download the Markdown comparison and attach it to a ticket — it lists bot access, sitemap gaps, and prioritized fixes without requiring an Ahrefs subscription.

How to fix

Step-by-step action plan

  1. 1 Run comparison with your URL plus 1–3 competitor domains.
  2. 2 Note any AI bots blocked on your site but allowed on competitors.
  3. 3 Publish or fix llms.txt and sitemap if competitors have them and you do not.
  4. 4 Run a full 100-page audit on your site from the Free Audit page.

Questions about this tool

How is this different from Ahrefs?

Ahrefs tracks backlinks, keywords, and traffic estimates. CrawlReady compares live technical AI-crawler readiness: robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap, schema, and indexability.

How many competitors can I compare?

Up to three competitor URLs plus your own site in one comparison (four sites total).

Does comparison use my daily scan limit?

Yes. One comparison counts as one free scan toward your daily quota.
