Small sites still need AI-ready crawl access, clear metadata, and a valid sitemap. Scan up to 100 pages free — built for founders and small teams who cannot afford Ahrefs or Semrush yet.
Free AI SEO audit tailored for small business sites — crawler access, metadata, sitemap, and llms.txt without paid enterprise tools.
In your free report
- robots.txt rules for Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot
- Homepage HTTP status and whether the path is allowed for each user-agent
- llms.txt presence and basic structure at your domain root
- XML sitemap discovery via robots.txt and common locations
- Meta robots, canonical, and indexability signals on scanned pages
Recommendations from official docs
Control AI bots independently
OpenAI documents GPTBot (training) and OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT search) as separate robots.txt tokens. You can allow search indexing while opting out of training data collection.
Allow search bots on public pages
Google and Bing need crawl access to index your site. Block only paths that should never appear in search or AI answers (admin, cart, staging, private APIs).
Publish llms.txt for AI discovery
A curated llms.txt at your root helps LLMs understand your site faster than parsing your full sitemap. Keep it under ~2,000 words with 10–30 high-value links.
Verify WAF and CDN bot rules
robots.txt is advisory. Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode or aggressive WAF rules can block crawlers even when robots.txt allows them — whitelist official crawler IP ranges.
Step-by-step action plan
- 1 Fetch your live robots.txt and list each User-agent block separately for AI and search bots.
- 2 Allow OAI-SearchBot and Googlebot on public marketing and product pages you want discovered.
- 3 Add Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml and ensure the sitemap returns HTTP 200.
- 4 Publish llms.txt with one H1, a blockquote summary, and grouped absolute URLs.
- 5 Re-run this checker after changes — OpenAI notes robots.txt updates can take ~24 hours to apply.
