An AI SEO audit checks whether your website is accessible and trustworthy enough to be recommended by AI search systems. In 2026 ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are directing real traffic to real businesses. The businesses appearing in those recommendations did specific technical work to get there.
Check your AI visibility right now at aiagentchecker.net.
Why Most Websites Are Invisible to AI Search
The reason is not content quality. It is a single line in robots.txt.
Websites built before 2023 commonly have legacy rules blocking all crawlers not explicitly whitelisted. This blocks GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot (Claude), PerplexityBot (Perplexity), and Google-Extended (Google AI Overviews) simultaneously. The website owner does not know. No warning appears. The website simply does not exist to AI search systems.
The Four AI SEO Audit Checks
1. AI Crawler Access Visit aiagentchecker.net and enter your URL. The tool checks all major AI crawlers against your robots.txt in 30 seconds. If any are blocked, this is your first fix. Add explicit Allow rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and Applebot-Extended.
2. Entity Signals AI systems evaluate business entities before recommending them. Consistent NAP across your website and the web. Explicit business description and service area. Mentions on authoritative third-party sites. Clear About page and founder information.
3. Content Structure for AI Citation AI systems prefer direct factual answers to specific questions. FAQPage schema labeling your Q&A explicitly as intended answers. Structured content with clear question-and-answer format. Direct statements rather than vague descriptive paragraphs.
4. EEAT Indicators Author attribution with credentials on key content. Explicit expertise signals. Publication and last updated dates. External authority indicators including mentions on trusted sources.
