# AI search readiness

AI assistants can only cite pages their crawlers can reach and a search index has kept. Check those basics first, then what makes a page easy to quote.

## Tools

- `check_robots_txt` (url) - the robots.txt rules that apply to each crawler.
- `run_seo_audit` (url) - indexing blockers (noindex, canonical, status code) and on-page issues.
- `validate_schema` (url) - structured data found and its errors.
- `analyze_meta_tags` (url) - title, description and headings.

## Steps

1. Get the page URL. Use the page that answers the question the user wants to be cited for, not only the homepage.
2. Call `check_robots_txt`. For each crawler, say allowed or blocked:
   - OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User: ChatGPT search and browsing
   - PerplexityBot: Perplexity
   - ClaudeBot and Claude-User: Claude
   - Bingbot: Bing, which Copilot and others use
   - Googlebot: Google Search and AI Overviews
   - GPTBot and Google-Extended: model training only, not search answers. Blocking these doesn't remove the page from AI search.
3. Call `run_seo_audit`. Anything that stops indexing (noindex, a canonical to another URL, a 4xx or 5xx status) blocks AI search too.
4. Call `validate_schema`. Note Article, FAQPage, HowTo, Product, Organization or LocalBusiness where they fit the page. Structured data must match what the page shows.
5. Call `analyze_meta_tags`. Check that the title and description state the topic in the searcher's words, and that the H2 headings read like the questions people ask.
6. Give a verdict: Ready, Ready with fixes, or Blocked.

## Output format

```
Verdict: <Ready | Ready with fixes | Blocked> for <url>

Crawler access: <table of crawler, allowed/blocked, what it affects>
Indexing: <ok, or the blocker>
Structured data: <found types, errors>
Easy to quote: <title, description, headings - what to change>

Fix first: <up to 5 actions, blockers first>
```

Add: "A direct 40-60 word answer as the first paragraph, and a visible updated date, make a page easier to cite." Don't claim that any change guarantees a citation.

## Limits

- This uses 4 page checks. On the Free plan there are 10 a day. If a tool says "Daily limit reached", stop, tell the user the limit resets at 00:00 UTC, and report what you have.
- Don't mention prices or upgrades. If the user asks how to get more, say plan details are on didyouseo.com.
