AI Search Readiness & llms.txt Checker (GEO Audit, Bulk)

Try it free

Leave Websites empty to run the built-in example, or paste 1–3 public sites. On the free Apify plan the first 25 websites per run are audited. Unreachable / non-existent hosts are free. This is a readiness checklist — it does not promise ChatGPT, Perplexity or AI Overview citations.

Sample scores from our publish QA: stripe.com 86, buffer.com 86, plausible.io 63, wikipedia.org 55.

Sample output (shape):

{"domain":"example.com","status":"OK","aiReadinessScore":62,"checks":{"aiCrawlers":{"pass":true},"llmsTxt":{"pass":false},"schemaOrg":{"pass":true,"typesFound":["Organization"]}},"fixes":[{"priority":"high","check":"llms_txt","fix":"Add a public /llms.txt file…"}],"billable":true}

For agencies: audit a whole town's local-business sites, sort by aiReadinessScore, work the fixes list, and offer the $9 GEO Fix Checklist as a client leave-behind.

AI Search Readiness (GEO) Audit — ChatGPT & Perplexity Visibility Check

Paste a list of websites. For each one this Actor runs a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) / AI visibility checklist and returns one row per site with:

• AI-readiness score 0–100
• Per-check pass/fail (what passed, what failed, points earned)
• Prioritized plain-English fixes
• A short markdown report you can paste into a client deck or ticket

Price: $0.005 per website audited ($5 per 1,000). Unreachable, non-existent, invalid and non-public hosts are returned with a status code and are not charged.

What it checks (no LLM APIs, no paid add-ons)

Check	Why it matters for AI search
robots.txt AI crawlers	Whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and CCBot are allowed
llms.txt	Presence of a public /llms.txt (the emerging AI-facing site summary)
schema.org JSON-LD	Organization / LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Product, Review / AggregateRating
FAQ / answer-first content	FAQPage markup, FAQ copy, <details> Q&A, or question-style headings
Title, meta description, H1	Classic on-page signals answer engines still reuse
NAP on homepage	Name, address and phone (local / entity clarity)
Sitemap	Declared in robots.txt or reachable at /sitemap.xml
HTTPS	Final URL is HTTPS
Page speed basics	HTML response time and document size (not a full Lighthouse run)

Honest caveats

• This is a readiness / hygiene audit, not a ranking tool. Passing every check does not guarantee citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot or any other AI answer surface.
• It does not call OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or any LLM API. It only fetches public pages and robots/llms/sitemap files.
• It does not render JavaScript. Sites that only inject schema or content client-side may look weaker than they are.
• NAP detection is heuristic (patterns + schema). Fancy designs can hide an address the tool misses.

Example output (shape)

{"domain": "example.com", "status": "OK", "aiReadinessScore": 62,
 "checks": {"aiCrawlers": {"pass": true}, "llmsTxt": {"pass": false}, "schemaOrg": {"pass": true, "typesFound": ["Organization"]}},
 "fixes": [{"priority": "high", "check": "llms_txt", "fix": "Add a public /llms.txt file…"}],
 "reportMarkdown": "# AI Search Readiness…", "billable": true}

Who is it for?

• SEO / GEO agencies auditing a client portfolio for ChatGPT & Perplexity readiness
• In-house marketers checking whether AI crawlers are blocked before a content push
• Local businesses verifying NAP + LocalBusiness schema + FAQ markup
• Developers wiring an llms.txt checker into CI or a site monitor

How to use

1. Paste websites or domains into Websites or domains (leave empty to run the built-in example).
2. Run. Export CSV / Excel / JSON, or call via the Apify API / Make / Zapier / n8n / Activepieces.
3. Sort by aiReadinessScore and work the fixes list top-down (high → low).

Status codes (all free except OK)

status	meaning
OK	site audited (charged $0.005)
SITE_UNREACHABLE	no usable HTTP(S) response
DOMAIN_NOT_FOUND	DNS lookup failed
INVALID_HOST / BLOCKED_NON_PUBLIC	bad input or non-public address

FAQ

Is this an “AI SEO” or “GEO audit” tool? Yes — that is the intent. It measures the public signals that commonly show up in GEO / AI-visibility checklists (crawler access, llms.txt, structured data, answer-shaped content, entity/NAP, basics). It does not scrape AI chat answers.

Does it verify that ChatGPT can see my page today? No. Crawler policy and on-page readiness are necessary but not sufficient for citations.

How is the score calculated? Roughly: AI crawler access 25, llms.txt 10, schema.org types 20, FAQ/answer-first 10, title/meta/H1 15, NAP 10, sitemap 5, HTTPS 5, speed basics 5. Details are in each row’s checks object.

How much does it cost? $0.005 per successfully audited website, plus Apify’s tiny per-run start fee. Failures are free. Set “Max cost per run” to cap spend. On the free Apify plan, the first 25 websites per run are processed.
