AI crawler access map
robots.txt, CDN, and firewall rules checked for 10+ AI crawlers, with one table of who can reach what.
The Problem
AI Tools Visit Your Site and Leave With Half the Page
This shows up on sites built with heavy JavaScript, strict bot rules, or messy templates. AI crawlers fetch the page, miss the content, and answer questions about you from other sources.
Bot rules
A firewall rule blocks AI crawlers nobody meant to block.
Bot rules
We check robots.txt, CDN, and firewall rules for each AI crawler by name.
Rendering
Crawlers fetch raw HTML and get an empty page shell.
Rendering
Our developers move key content into the server-rendered HTML.
Training
Blocking training bots also blocked AI search by mistake.
Training
We separate training bots from search bots, so you choose each one deliberately.
Structure
Answers hide inside tabs, sliders, and long unbroken text.
Structure
We restructure key pages with clear headings, tables, and plain definitions.
Your docs look excellent when a person loads them in a browser. A crawler that fetches the raw HTML gets a nav bar, a cookie banner, and an empty div. Your security team added a bot rule last year, and nobody checked which AI crawlers it blocks. Someone asked whether to block GPTBot, and the answer was a guess. When a buyer asks Claude or Perplexity how your product works, the answer quotes a reseller's page. Your content is there. The machines just can't get to it.
We start with your server logs and robots.txt, so we know which AI crawlers visit, which get blocked, and what each one receives. Then our developers fix access per bot, move key content into the server-rendered HTML, and clean up the structure: headings, tables, and plain definitions. Where it helps, we add an llms.txt file. AI tools get the page your visitors see, not a blank shell.
Every AI crawler by name
OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Bingbot, and the training bots, each checked separately.
Content in the raw HTML
Key pages tested without JavaScript, so crawlers that skip scripts still get the full text.
llms.txt where it helps
An optional llms.txt file for docs and product sites, explained honestly as a proposal, not a standard.
Our LLM SEO Services Process
From Free Crawler Check to an AI-Readable Site in Five Clear Steps
You see which AI crawlers reach your site before you pay. Then you approve the bot rules, the rendering fixes, and the page changes, and we retest everything before handover.
We fetch 5 of your key pages the way OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, and PerplexityBot would, without running JavaScript, and read your robots.txt. You get a short call on what each crawler sees and a fixed price.
What's Included
What You Get With SEO for LLMs
You get crawler access checked by name and training bots split from search bots. Key pages render in plain HTML, structure gets clearer, and everything is retested before handover, with an optional llms.txt file.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, platforms, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Teams Pick Us as Their LLM SEO Consultant
AI crawlers are new, and advice about them changes weekly. We test with real fetches, follow each AI company's own crawler documentation, and fix things in code instead of slides.
Real fetches, not theory
We fetch your pages the way each AI crawler does and show you the raw result. Decisions come from what the bot actually received.
Vendor docs as the rulebook
OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google, and Microsoft publish how their crawlers behave. We follow those pages and check their dates before every project.
Honest about llms.txt
llms.txt is a September 2024 proposal, and Google says AI Overviews need no special file. We add one where it helps and don't sell it as a ranking switch.
Security stays intact
Opening access to AI search bots shouldn't weaken your firewall. We allow named crawlers precisely and leave every other bot rule as your security team set it.
Code changes you review
Rendering and template fixes go through your repository or staging site. Nothing reaches production until your developer approves the change.
Tests you keep
You keep the bot rules, the fetch test script, and the access table. Your team can rerun the checks after every release.

Good fit
SaaS teams with JavaScript-heavy sites
Your marketing site and docs are built in React, and a raw HTML fetch returns little more than a loading spinner and a footer.
Companies with strict bot rules
Your security team blocks unknown bots at the CDN, and you suspect that rule also stops OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot from reading your pages.
Publishers deciding on AI training
You want to keep content out of model training but stay visible in AI search, and you need the rules written correctly.
Teams wary of AI search hype
You've read about llm optimization seo and want a developer-led team to check what AI tools actually receive before buying any content work.
Agencies adding AI readiness checks
You want to offer an llm seo service to clients without learning every AI crawler's rules and testing them yourself.
Not a fit
Content strategy is the gap
Your pages are readable, but they say little worth citing. Generative Engine Optimization Services rewrites content for citation month by month.
Only ChatGPT matters
You only care about ChatGPT and want brand facts fixed too. ChatGPT SEO Services is a sprint built around OpenAI's crawler and ChatGPT search.
Google can't index it
Google hasn't indexed your key pages at all. JavaScript SEO Services should come first, because AI search depends on the same rendering base.
Small static site
You run a small static site with a default robots.txt and no bot rules. If our free check shows every crawler already reads it, we'll tell you before we quote.
Not sure we're the right fit?
Book a free call or message us. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right team.

Straight answers on cost, timing, AI crawlers, llms.txt, and how LLM SEO fits next to classic SEO.

Our LLM SEO projects start at $750 for Crawler Access Fix. That covers bot rules for 10+ AI crawlers, a training and search split, and rendering fixes on 2 templates. AI-Readable Site costs $1,500 and adds log review, structure work, and llms.txt. Full LLM Readiness costs $2,250 for up to 12 templates. Each plan gets a fixed proposal after the free check.
Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on how many templates need rendering fixes. Bot rule changes can go live in a day, and OpenAI and Perplexity say their crawlers pick up robots.txt changes within about 24 hours. We then watch your logs for 30 days to confirm each crawler gets through.
It's SEO for the AI tools built on large language models, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and Gemini. The goal is that their crawlers can reach your pages, read the full content, and quote it accurately. It builds on classic SEO and adds work on AI bot access, rendering, and clear structure.
LLM SEO optimization works by fixing what AI crawlers actually receive from your site. We check which bots your robots.txt and firewall allow, fetch key pages without JavaScript, and compare that with what visitors see. Then we close the gaps: access rules, server-rendered content, clearer headings and tables, and an llms.txt file where it helps.
It goes by several names: LLM SEO, generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and AI SEO. The terms overlap, and no single name has won. On our site, LLM SEO means the technical side, GEO means content written for citation, and AI SEO is the monthly program across engines.
You get traffic from LLMs when AI tools can read your pages and choose to link them as sources. Allow the search crawlers, make key content readable without JavaScript, and publish pages worth citing. Then track referrals from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, and similar sources in GA4 to see which pages earn visits.
It depends on your content, and blocking training bots doesn't have to cost you AI search visibility. OpenAI runs GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot separately, and Anthropic splits ClaudeBot from Claude-SearchBot. Google-Extended limits training and grounding in some Google AI systems, apart from Search. We set each rule to match what you decided.
Not for Google rankings. Google says AI Overviews need no special file, and llms.txt is still a proposal from September 2024, not a standard. It can still help AI tools and coding assistants find your best docs and product pages. We write one when your site has docs or a large catalog worth pointing to.
The best llm seo agency for you is one that tests what AI crawlers actually receive and fixes it in code. Ask for a raw fetch of your pages as OAI-SearchBot or Claude-SearchBot before you buy. Be careful with anyone promising citations, because each AI company decides what its answers show.
Yes. An LLM audit shows which AI crawlers reach a client's site, what they receive, and where content is hidden. Those findings often expose classic SEO problems too, since blocked bots, JavaScript-only text, and weak structure hurt Google as well. Agencies can resell our audit and fixes under their own brand.
