About this tool
What the check actually reads.
It fetches your robots.txt and works through the main crawlers one at a time (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and the rest), reporting for each whether your site allows it, blocks it, or says nothing. Then it looks for /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, optional plain-text summaries of your site. Google does not use them; some other tools may.
From there it parses the structured data on the page and lists the types it finds, checks trust signals (author markup, an about page, a contact page, Organization and Person schema, a visible last-updated date) and reads the shape of your content: how many paragraphs, how long they run, whether there are FAQ blocks or bullet lists, whether the title is phrased as a question. Last it checks brand clarity: name, logo, and a consistent address and phone number.
One thing it does not do, so nobody has to guess: it will not tell you where you appear for a particular search. That varies by query and by user. This measures whether your page can be reached and read in the first place.
What to do with the result
- Unblock the crawlers you meant to allow
Plenty of sites block crawlers by accident, through a plugin default or a copied robots.txt. A crawler that is blocked cannot read the page.
- Answer real questions in the page, not just in the schema
FAQ markup only helps when the visible page answers the question in a sentence someone could lift. Write the answer first, mark it up second.
- Say who wrote it and when it was last touched
An author, an about page, a contact page, and a visible updated date are what an engine uses to decide whether a page is worth attributing.
