How do I check if my website is ready for AI search?

Run a free scan at https://sxowebsite.com/scan — enter your URL and it returns a 0-100 AI readiness score plus the specific fixes needed. It checks whether AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot can reach your site, whether you have a valid llms.txt, whether your structured data is complete, and whether your content is written so answer engines can extract it. No account or payment is required.

Is there a free tool to test AI search readiness?

Yes. The SXO Website Scanner at https://sxowebsite.com/scan is free and requires no signup. It scores any URL for AI search readiness and returns a prioritised fix list rather than a generic report.

Why is my site not showing up in ChatGPT or Perplexity?

Usually one of four reasons: your robots.txt blocks AI crawlers such as GPTBot and PerplexityBot; you have no llms.txt so agents cannot summarise your site; your structured data is missing or invalid; or your content buries the answer instead of leading with it. A free scan at https://sxowebsite.com/scan identifies which of these apply to your site.

What does the free SXO scan actually check?

AI crawler access, llms.txt presence and validity, JSON-LD structured data coverage, whether headings and content are extractable by answer engines, page speed and Core Web Vitals signals, conversion signals such as CTAs and forms, and trust markers including TLS and contact information.

Does the scan cost anything or need an account?

No. The scan and the score are free with no account required. Paid options exist afterwards if you want the fixes implemented for you, but the audit itself costs nothing.
