Will Google's AI
find you?
Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode run on the same Search index as everything else — so visibility comes down to fundamentals, not "AEO hacks". Most tools sell tactics Google explicitly says don't work.
Enter any URL and this tool runs real checks — indexability, robots.txt, metadata, structured data, sitemap, content depth, page experience — then the AI prioritizes what to fix and flags the myths you can safely ignore. Takes about 30 seconds.
Enter any public URL. We run real checks — indexability, robots.txt, metadata, structured data, sitemap — then the AI prioritizes what to fix for Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Checks run against the server-rendered HTML, so a purely client-rendered (JavaScript-only) page may under-report content and headings.
How do I get my site into Google AI Overviews?
There's no separate "AI SEO." Google's AI features pull from the normal Search index using retrieval and query fan-out, so a page has to be indexed and snippet-eligible first. The levers are the foundational ones: make pages crawlable and indexable, publish genuinely helpful and unique content, deliver a good page experience, and use structured data for rich-result eligibility. This tool checks each of those and tells you which to fix first.
Do I need an llms.txt file for AI search?
Not for Google. Google states directly that you don't need to create llms.txt, AI text files, markup, or Markdown for its AI features to understand your site. An llms.txt can still help other AI crawlers like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, so it's not harmful — just don't expect it to move Google's AI Overviews. The audit flags it so you know where it does and doesn't help.
Is structured data required for AI Overviews?
No. Google says structured data is not required to appear in its generative AI features. It's still worth adding because it makes you eligible for rich results in regular Search and helps Google understand entities like products and businesses. The tool reports whether you have JSON-LD, but won't penalize a page that lacks it for AI readiness.
What actually moves the needle for AI search visibility?
Helpful, people-first content with a unique point of view, on pages that are technically sound — indexable, fast, mobile-friendly, and crawlable. Google's own guidance is that plenty of content thrives in AI experiences with no overt SEO at all, as long as it's genuinely useful and discoverable. Chasing "mentions," chunking content, or rewriting it into special AI formats are not effective uses of time.
How is the readiness score calculated?
The tool fetches your page and its robots.txt and sitemap, then runs deterministic checks — indexability, title and meta description, canonical, H1, structured data, mobile viewport, HTTPS, social image, and content depth — each weighted by how much it affects Search and AI eligibility. Passing checks earn full weight, warnings earn half. An AI then reads those facts to prioritize fixes; it never overrides the checks.
