// SERVICE 04 — AI READINESS
Make your website readable — and citable — by AI.
AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) are the new front door to your business. This service makes sure they can get in: an explicit AI bot policy, llms.txt, server-rendered content for agents, and structured data that makes your pages citable in AI answers. Your site already talks to Google — now it talks to the models.

// WHAT'S INCLUDED
What does AI-crawler readiness actually include?
AI bot policy
Explicit robots.txt rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and others: you decide what's allowed, in writing.
llms.txt
A machine-readable map of your site's most important content, the emerging standard for language-model crawlers.
SSR-for-agents
Verification that AI crawlers receive complete HTML, not a loading spinner; client-only content gets server-rendered fallbacks.
Citation-grade structured data
Clean entities, authorship, organization, FAQ and speakable markup so AI answers can attribute you correctly.
Answer-first content format
Page intros and question-style headings restructured into the formats AI tools quote (this page is an example).
AI-visibility audit
What AI assistants currently say about your business, and where they're getting it wrong.
// PROCESS
How does it work?
- 1
Audit
Crawl your site as GPTBot/ClaudeBot see it; document what AI assistants currently claim about you.
- 2
Policy
Decide your AI bot stance — allow, limit, or block — and encode it in robots.txt and llms.txt.
- 3
Implement
SSR fixes, structured data upgrades, answer-first content restructuring.
- 4
Verify
Re-crawl as the bots, and re-query the assistants. You see the before/after.
// PROOF
Where have I done this before?
This isn't theoretical: I built a production OCR onboarding flow on Google Gemini for Thrifty — real AI in a revenue-critical path. And this website implements the full AI-readiness stack itself: check /llms.txt, the robots policy, and the JSON-LD on this very page.
// TOOL STACK
Which tools do I reach for?
The same tools I use to audit yours.
// FAQ
What should you know before booking this service?
It's a convention, like the early days of robots.txt, that tells language-model crawlers what your site is and which content matters most. Adoption is growing fast; implementing it costs little and positions you ahead of competitors who haven't heard of it yet.
