AI search visibility (GEO/AEO)

Citability

Signals that make a passage quotable, as an evidence check rather than a ranking promise.

How it works

Three steps, one saved scan

  1. Read AI crawler access in robots.txt

    seohead ai-bots-check reads robots.txt and shows which AI crawlers it lets in or blocks, from GPTBot and ClaudeBot to PerplexityBot and Google-Extended.

  2. Score your llms.txt

    seohead llms-txt-check fetches /llms.txt and runs nine binary checks: H1, sections, links, brand, category, pricing, proof, docs and size.

  3. Measure how quotable the text is

    seohead citability-check scores answer blocks, self-containment, statistical density and structure on the page's content area, not the nav or footer.

Questions

AI search visibility (GEO/AEO)
No. The checks are read-only. ai-bots-check works on robots.txt text, llms-txt-check only fetches /llms.txt. You make any edits yourself.
No. The score measures how self-contained and evidence-rich the text is. It is not a ranking or citation promise.
That depends on the policy you want. ai-bots-check separates training crawlers such as Google-Extended and CCBot from retrieval crawlers such as PerplexityBot, so you can allow answer visibility and block training.
No, but with --brand it also checks that the file names your brand, which is one of the nine checks.
