Pro Tip: AI search bots prioritise websites with clear structured data, comprehensive metadata, and explicit guidance via llms.txt. A valid Web App Manifest and service worker also signal technical credibility to crawlers.

What This Tool Does

The AI Search Bot SEO & PWA Checker analyses any URL and returns a live score across 14 signals split into two categories: SEO & AI Discovery (JSON-LD schema, meta description, OpenGraph, llms.txt, robots.txt, sitemap, and additional structured data) and Progressive Web App readiness (HTTPS, viewport, web app manifest, service worker, theme colour, Apple touch icon, and offline capability). Each check runs in real time against the submitted URL and returns a pass/fail with a percentage score and actionable recommendations.

Why AI Search Visibility Matters

AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews read your page's structured data, meta tags, and crawl files to decide whether to reference your site in answers. Without JSON-LD schema, a clear meta description, and an llms.txt guidance file, your content is invisible to these systems - no matter how good the writing is. Open Graph tags also control the preview shown when your page is shared on social platforms, directly affecting click-through rates.

Key Optimisation Checks

JSON-LD schema present
Meta description 120-160 chars
OpenGraph tags complete
llms.txt AI guidance file
robots.txt & XML sitemap
Web App Manifest + HTTPS

Pro Tip

A complete Web App Manifest + HTTPS + service worker unlocks the browser's install prompt, letting users add your site to their home screen. This signals strong technical credibility to both AI crawlers and search engines - and boosts your PWA score in this tool instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool actually check?

It fetches your URL live and inspects the HTML for 14 signals: JSON-LD schema, meta description length, OpenGraph tags, llms.txt, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, additional structured data, HTTPS, viewport meta, web app manifest, service worker registration, theme-color meta, apple-touch-icon, and Cache API / fetch listener for offline support.

Why does llms.txt matter for AI search bots?

The llms.txt standard lets site owners give explicit instructions to AI crawlers - similar to robots.txt but designed specifically for large language models. Sites that provide it are more likely to be cited accurately in AI-generated answers.

What is a PWA and why does it affect SEO?

A Progressive Web App meets a set of technical criteria (HTTPS, manifest, service worker) that allow it to be installed like a native app. Search engines and AI tools treat PWA-compliant sites as higher-quality, more trustworthy sources.
