AI SEO services from the person who built this scanner

Fixed-fee AI SEO audit from the independent consultant who built sitemap.digital. Crawlability, schema, llms.txt and AI answer presence. No guarantees sold.

By Sunny Patel · Updated 2026-08-23

AI SEO is the work of making your website show up in AI-generated answers. The systems behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews need to crawl your site, extract your content cleanly, and trust it enough to cite it before they use you as the answer. Most of that comes down to concrete technical and editorial work: crawler access, page structure, schema, and how clearly each page states what it knows. It is not a separate discipline invented last year. It is search visibility applied to a new set of crawlers and a new way of assembling answers.

Two honest redirections come before anything else. This page is the opposite of an AI SEO agency with a large team, account managers and a monthly slide deck: one senior person, me, doing the work myself. This is also not a tool that mass-produces AI-written content. This is a consulting service that makes the site you already have legible to AI systems. The free scanner on this site shows you the gap in about a minute.

What the service covers

The engagement starts with an AI visibility audit of your site. It covers six areas. Every finding comes with a specific fix rather than a general recommendation.

  • Crawler access. Checks whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and other major AI crawlers can reach your pages. It covers robots.txt rules and CDN or firewall blocks you may not know you have.
  • Content legibility. Checks whether your pages state answers in extractable form or bury them in vague copy a model cannot quote.
  • Structure. Reviews heading hierarchy, internal linking, orphan pages and click depth to keep important pages findable rather than stranded.
  • Schema. Fixes JSON-LD errors and gaps so it describes your organisation, people, products and pages accurately.
  • llms.txt and supporting files. Checks whether you publish the files AI systems increasingly look for and does it properly rather than as a gesture.
  • AI answer presence. How the major assistants currently describe your brand when asked, what they get wrong, and which pages need to exist or change to correct it.

How the engagement runs

The audit comes first at a fixed fee agreed before any work starts. You get a prioritised fix list: what to change, on which pages, in what order, with the reasoning shown. It is written so your own developer or content person can implement it without me.

One optional next step follows: a monthly engagement where I implement the fixes and keep working on your AI visibility over time. I only propose it if the audit shows enough ongoing work to justify it. No lock-in and no retainer get sold before either of us knows what is actually wrong with the site. I will say so and end the engagement there if the audit shows your site is already in good shape.

Why hire the person who built the scanner

sitemap.digital is my tool. The free scanner this page sits on crawls a site, scores every page from 0 to 100 for AI crawlability, checks robots.txt access for the major AI crawlers, checks for llms.txt, finds orphan pages, broken links and click-depth problems, and generates ready-to-use fix files. The audit applies the same method by hand plus the judgement a scanner cannot automate: what your content actually says, how AI assistants currently answer questions about your brand, and which fixes matter most for your business.

The other reason is practical. I run a large portfolio of dozens of my own websites. I ship these fixes on my own properties before recommending them to anyone. What you get in the audit is what I do when my own traffic depends on it rather than a checklist assembled for client decks.

You can test the method yourself first for free with no signup.

Who this is not for

Enterprises that need a team. One consultant is the wrong shape for you if you have thousands of pages across multiple markets and need daily coverage from several specialists. I will say so rather than pretend otherwise.

Anyone who wants guaranteed results. Nobody controls what an AI model says or how a search engine ranks a page. Anyone offering guaranteed rankings or guaranteed citations is selling something they cannot deliver. I offer a clear method, honest findings and prioritised fixes. I will show you the reasoning behind every one.

Anyone looking for mass AI-generated content. Publishing more low-effort pages is usually the opposite of what makes a site citable.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is the practice of making your website visible and citable in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews. It means giving AI crawlers access to your site, structuring content so models can extract and quote it, publishing accurate schema and supporting files like llms.txt, and fixing how your brand is currently described in AI answers.

How is this different from normal SEO?

The differences are real but specific: a distinct set of crawlers with their own access rules, answer extraction rather than ranked lists of links, files like llms.txt that traditional SEO never needed, and the question of what AI assistants currently say about your brand with no equivalent in a rankings report. Good technical SEO, clear content and sound site structure help both. The overlap is large. Anyone claiming otherwise is overselling.

What does an AI SEO audit include?

The audit includes crawler access for the major AI bots including robots.txt and firewall blocks, content legibility page by page, structure and internal linking including orphan pages and click depth, schema, llms.txt, and a review of how AI assistants currently answer questions about your brand. You get a prioritised fix list you can implement yourself or have me implement.

Do you guarantee results?

No. Nobody controls what an AI model says or where a search engine ranks a page. A guarantee would be dishonest. What I guarantee is the work itself: a thorough audit, findings you can verify, and fixes ordered by likely impact. I will tell you if your site is already in good shape instead of inventing problems.

Can I do this myself instead of hiring anyone?

Partly yes. The free scanner on this site shows crawler access, page scores, llms.txt status and structural problems. It even generates fix files without a signup. Run the scanner and start there if you have technical resource in-house. The paid audit adds the parts a tool cannot judge: what your content actually communicates, how assistants currently describe your brand, and which fixes matter most for your specific business.
