Website Scanner
Is Your Site Actually Readable by AI Crawlers?
AskRank's free website scanner checks the technical prerequisites for AI visibility: can GPTBot and friends crawl you, do you have llms.txt and structured data, is your content structured the way AI answer engines expect. Scored instantly, no signup.
Live dashboard
Your AI visibility, on one dashboard
Every number you see below is what AskRank surfaces for your brand - automatically, across every major AI engine, every day.
If GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot can't crawl your site, it doesn't matter how good your product is - AI assistants can't recommend what they can't read.
Most sites were built for human visitors and Googlebot, not for the newer wave of AI crawlers and the llms.txt / structured-data conventions they increasingly rely on.
A single missing JSON-LD block or an overzealous robots.txt rule can quietly wall off your entire site from AI answer engines - and there is no Search Console equivalent that tells you.
Fixing technical AEO readiness is a prerequisite, not a guarantee: it makes it possible for AI to mention your brand, then AskRank's visibility tracker tells you whether it actually does.
Four categories, scored and explained
Plus experimental checks for bleeding-edge agent/commerce protocols (MCP, x402, Web Bot Auth) that only ever count in your favor - never against your score.
Crawlability & Bot Access
robots.txt, sitemap, HTTPS, response time, and whether the 9 major AI crawlers are actually allowed in.
AI Discoverability
llms.txt, llms-full.txt, RSS feeds, canonical URLs - the signals AI engines use to find and understand your whole site.
Content Structure
Titles, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, semantic HTML, Open Graph tags - what AI parsers read to know what a page is about.
Answerability & Structured Data
JSON-LD, FAQ content, and a healthy text-to-markup ratio - what makes a page directly quotable in an AI answer.
How the free scan works
Four steps, no signup required for the scan itself.
Deterministic checks run instantly
No LLM calls - every check is a straightforward rule (does robots.txt block GPTBot? is there a JSON-LD block? etc.), so results are instant and repeatable.
Scored report with concrete fixes
An overall AEO readiness score, a breakdown by category, and specific recommendations - including copy-pasteable snippets where it helps.
Track the outcome with AskRank
A clean scan makes your brand eligible to be mentioned. AskRank's core product then tracks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude actually do.

Frequently asked questions
How the free website scanner works, what it checks, and how it relates to AskRank's AI visibility tracker.
Yes, completely - no signup, no email, no credit card. Enter a URL and get a full scored report immediately, up to 5 scans per hour per visitor.
No - every check is a deterministic, rule-based test (does robots.txt block GPTBot? is there a title tag of a reasonable length? is there JSON-LD?). That is what makes it instant and exactly reproducible, unlike an LLM-based judgment call.
The scanner checks whether your site is technically readable by AI crawlers - a prerequisite. AskRank's core product then tracks whether AI assistants actually mention your brand by name across hundreds of real prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. One measures readiness, the other measures the outcome.
Yes - the scan tool lets you pick a preset (all checks, content site, or API/application) or toggle individual checks, so a pure API product can skip on-page content checks that don't apply to it.
That is exactly the point of scanning early - every failing or warning check comes with a specific, actionable recommendation, and the "Top recommendations" section highlights the highest-impact fixes first.
