01 Query

Every AI answer begins with a real customer question.

A person asks for a recommendation, comparison, local service, or solution. The language of that question and its location context influence what the system looks for next.

Evidence retained The exact customer query, language, intent, and local context.

Methodology

What This Tool Actually Checks, and Why

Every check in this tool reviews a technical or content signal that can affect how crawlers and search systems discover, parse, and understand a website. The checks are practical foundations for AI-search readiness, but they do not guarantee that any platform will cite a business.

Structured Data (Schema Markup)

Schema markup can express facts about a business, its services, and visible question-and-answer content in a machine-readable format. Organization and business-related markup can help systems interpret site entities more consistently. The appropriate schema types depend on what a business genuinely offers and what is visible on the page, which is why a relevant audit should not treat every missing schema type as a failure.

On-Page Fundamentals

A clear page title, a useful meta description, one primary H1, logical headings, canonical signals, and readable visible content all help crawlers and search systems understand a page. These are long-standing web fundamentals that remain relevant when people use AI-assisted search experiences.

Bilingual Signals (hreflang)

For a business that has real equivalent pages in more than one language, hreflang helps search systems understand the relationship between those versions. This can be especially relevant to businesses serving English- and Arabic-speaking audiences across the UAE and wider Middle East.

AI Crawler Access

Robots.txt directives can affect whether individual crawlers may request website content. A site may allow one crawler while restricting another, sometimes intentionally and sometimes because of broad rules. This tool reviews the availability of robots.txt and checks the relevant access signals it can observe.

Discoverability Files (llms.txt, sitemap.xml)

A sitemap.xml file can help search crawlers discover pages efficiently. An llms.txt file is an emerging publisher convention that some teams use to provide a concise, machine-oriented guide to key site content. Its presence can be useful to review, but it should not be presented as a guarantee of AI visibility or citations.

What This Free Check Doesn't Measure

This free tool checks technical and on-page readiness signals. It does not prove whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, or Google AI features cite or recommend a business today. Measuring real AI visibility requires monitoring relevant customer questions, reviewing actual answers, and retaining the evidence over time.

When to Run Another Check

Run another technical readiness check after meaningful site changes: a redesign, platform migration, major content update, a robots.txt change, the launch of an Arabic-language version, or a structured-data deployment. Checking after a genuine change is usually more useful than running repeated scans with no corresponding website update.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a perfect 100/100 score mean AI platforms are already citing my business?

No - this free check measures whether your site is technically ready to be cited, not whether it's actually being cited today. That distinction is exactly what the full product measures with real, stored evidence.

Why do I need to answer questions about my business before checking my score?

Not every check applies to every business - a service business with no products has no real reason to be marked down for missing Product schema. These questions let the tool check only what's genuinely relevant to you.

What happens if I leave all four toggles checked but don't actually have those things?

The tool will genuinely check for them, and if they're missing, that shows as a real Fail - the toggles only skip checks you tell it don't apply, they never fabricate a pass.

How long does a real scan actually take?

Genuinely a few seconds to around 15 seconds, depending on how quickly your site and its robots.txt respond - this is real network activity, several actual fetches, not a simulated delay.

Why is the free tool limited to 3 scans per hour?

Each scan does real, live work - fetching your page, your robots.txt, and checking for llms.txt and sitemap.xml - and this limit keeps that genuine crawling activity reasonable for a free, public tool.

Does this tool check Arabic-language content differently from English?

The technical checks themselves (schema, headings, meta tags) work identically regardless of language - the hreflang check specifically verifies that a genuine second-language version is properly connected, when you tell us one exists.

My score is low - does that mean my website is bad?

Not necessarily - a low score usually means specific, fixable technical gaps, not that your actual business or its real content is weak. Many of these gaps take real but modest work to close.

Does a failed AI crawler access check mean my whole site is blocked from Google too?

Not necessarily - this checks each AI crawler individually. A site can correctly allow Googlebot for traditional search while accidentally blocking GPTBot or PerplexityBot specifically, which is a genuinely common, easy-to-miss mistake.

Can I check a page other than my homepage?

Yes - submit any real, specific URL on your site, not just the homepage. Different pages on the same site can have genuinely different schema and on-page results.

Does this tool store the URLs I check?

Yes - the domain checked, along with a best-effort location, is recorded for our own internal visibility into how the tool is used. Your specific page content or scan results aren't shared anywhere.

Why does the tool check llms.txt when it's such a new standard?

Because it's genuinely emerging as a real convention right now, and being ready early is a real, low-cost advantage - the file is simple to create, and this site's own llms.txt generator tool can help.

If my site fails the content-depth check, does that mean I need to add filler text?

No - this checks for genuine, substantive content, not just a word count target. Adding padding or filler would work against you elsewhere (content quality genuinely matters for AI citation), so the real fix is adding real, useful content, not stretching existing text.

Does this free tool work for websites outside the UAE or GCC?

Yes - every technical check here applies to any website, anywhere. The business-type toggles and the underlying checks aren't region-specific.

Can my developer fix these issues themselves, or do I need an agency?

Many of these - title tags, meta descriptions, basic schema, alt text - are genuinely within reach for a competent developer following the specific finding. Others, like genuine content depth or a coordinated AEO strategy, benefit from more experienced, dedicated work.

Will my score change if I check the same URL again without changing anything?

It should generally stay the same, since these are real, fetched technical facts about your live page - a different result on an unchanged page would suggest something about your site itself is inconsistent between requests, which is itself worth investigating.

They helped us fix several technical issues and added the right schema markup to our website. I was particularly impressed with their understanding of AEO and GEO and how AI crawlers understand website content. Everything was explained clearly and professionally.
