The AI-era SEO audit
The free audit measures how ready your site is for Google and AI search, with a receipt behind every finding, and the free live snapshot asks Perplexity and ChatGPT whether they recommend you. Your next customer may ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews who to hire.
Does AI recommend you today?
The audit grades how ready your site is. To find out whether AI recommends you or a competitor today, run the free live snapshot: 3 prompts on Perplexity and ChatGPT, 1 sample per engine, with each answer shown word for word. The snapshot records what the engines answered on the day you run it.

SEO for AI Agents is an SEO audit tool for small businesses that checks whether Google and AI answer engines can read your website, trust it and recommend it, then shows you the fix for every problem it finds.
The report shows you what Google and AI crawlers see when they read your site, and which fixes to make first.
01
Type the address of the page your buyers land on. You do not need to log in or enter a card.
02
We fetch the raw HTML the way Google and AI crawlers do, render it when needed, and run 82 checks. It usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
03
Every finding shows what we saw, why it matters, the source behind the rule and what to change. The top 3 per pillar show right away.
What changed
Here is what changed, in the engines’ own words, and what we check because of it.
The old checklist
What the engines say
What we check
The old checklist
Grades your site only for classic Google results
What the engines say
Google says its AI Overviews and AI Mode follow the same SEO basics, with no extra requirements to appear. Source: Google Search Central, AI features and your website, last updated December 10, 2025.
What we check
We grade the basics both kinds of search read, then sample what six AI answer engines answer
The old checklist
Assumes every crawler runs your scripts
What the engines say
A crawler that does not run scripts reads only the raw HTML your server sends. Text that your scripts add after the page loads is not in that HTML.
What we check
We compare your raw HTML with the rendered page and flag what goes missing
The old checklist
Scores you on an llms.txt file
What the engines say
The same Google guide says you do not need new machine-readable files, AI text files or markup to appear in its AI features. See the guide.
What we check
We never score a file that changes nothing
The old checklist
Ignores which AI bots you let in
What the engines say
OpenAI runs separate crawlers for search and for training, and each one follows its own robots.txt rule. Source: OpenAI, Overview of OpenAI crawlers, read October 7, 2026.
What we check
We read your robots.txt and list which AI crawlers can reach you
The old checklist
Gives everyone the same fixes
What the engines say
A law firm, a medical practice and a CPA firm are asked different questions by the people who hire them.
What we check
Industry adapters change severity, fixes and buyer questions for 6 industries
Questions before you buy
The audit and the live snapshot are free, and you do not need to log in or enter a card for either one. Paid plans watch your site and your AI answers over time, and their prices are these: Starter is $49 a month or $490 a year, Pro is $149 a month or $1,490 a year, and Agency is $399 a month or $3,990 a year, plus $15 a month for each brand beyond the 20 it includes.
Compare every planA free audit usually takes 2 to 3 minutes. You can watch each step run, and the report opens on the same page when it is done. Fixing what it finds is up to you or your web person, and you can run the audit again after each fix to see the change.
A report that grades your site pillar by pillar. Every audit, on every plan, scores Foundational SEO, Technical SEO and AI Visibility. Local SEO is scored when the pages we read show a physical location or a service area, such as a street address, a city and state or a Maps link, and on every accountant, lawyer, medical practice and real estate audit. Each finding says how serious it is, how sure we are, what we saw on your page, which method the check follows and what to change. The top 3 findings in each pillar show right away, and we email the full report when you leave your address.
See a sample reportSEO for AI Agents is built for small-business owners who run their own marketing, and for the consultants and small agencies who do that work for them. If your buyers ask Google or ChatGPT who to hire, the audit is written for you. The audit is tailored for 6 industries: MCA brokerages, CPA firms, law firms, medical practices, AI agencies, and residential real estate teams.
Semrush and Ahrefs are large research suites, best known for keyword and backlink data. Keep them if you use them. Compared to them, we do one narrower job: we check whether AI answer engines can read and trust your site, sample what six AI answer engines answer about you, and explain every finding in plain words with the source behind the rule.
Choosing a paid plan opens secure checkout; if you are not signed in we take you to signup first. Paid plans add weekly AI answer tracking on six AI answer engines, from 25 tracked prompts on Starter to 150 on Agency, more pages per audit, history, and PDF reports, white-labeled on Pro and Agency. You can cancel any time from your billing settings, and your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.

Equal weight, every plan
Every audit, on every plan, scores Foundational SEO, Technical SEO and AI Visibility. Local SEO is scored when the pages we read show a physical location or a service area, such as a street address, a city and state or a Maps link, and on every accountant, lawyer, medical practice and real estate audit. Paid plans read more pages per audit and track more prompts. No pillar is ever held back for a higher plan: the free audit scores every pillar that applies to your site.
Titles, headings, content depth, internal links, and whether the page answers the questions your buyers ask. The base every other pillar sits on.
MethodologyCrawl access, speed, structured data, redirects, and a comparison of your raw HTML with the rendered page, so you see what a crawler that skips scripts would miss.
MethodologyOn-site local signals: LocalBusiness markup, a Google Maps link, phone and address on the page, service-area pages, local wording. Google Business Profile and local pack rank are not measured.
MethodologyWhich AI crawlers can reach you, whether your passages can be quoted on their own, whether your markup says who you are, and whether the people behind the business are visible.

More questions
No tool can promise that, and we do not. The audit shows what stops AI engines from reading, trusting or quoting your site. The live snapshot shows what those engines answer on the day you run it. What they answer after that is decided by the engines.
Not for Google. Google says you do not need new machine-readable files, AI text files or markup to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. We do not score llms.txt, because a file that changes nothing should not change your grade.
Yes, in your robots.txt file. OpenAI documents a search crawler, OAI-SearchBot, and a training crawler, GPTBot, and says each setting is independent: you can allow one and block the other. The audit reads your robots.txt and tells you which AI crawlers can reach you.
Paid tracking samples six AI answer engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Google AI Overviews. Each answer is shown word for word with its model and timestamp. We do not measure Microsoft Copilot, because no public API returns its answers.
The audit is free and needs no login. The top 3 findings in each pillar show on the page, and we email the full report when you leave your address.
