Audit module
AI Search Readiness (GEO / AEO / llms.txt) Audit
What is AI search readiness in Audityxe?
AI search readiness is an Audityxe module that checks whether AI crawlers can access a site and whether its pages are structured for answer engines — covering AI-crawler rules, llms.txt, FAQPage/HowTo/Speakable schema, question-style headings, and direct-answer opening paragraphs.
These checks cover the signals that answer engines and AI agents are known to read. They indicate readiness; no tool can guarantee that a specific AI product will cite a page.

Does Audityxe check llms.txt?
