Make the site easier for machines to access and interpret.
SiteRevive IQ reviews technical signals that can support discovery across search and AI systems. The checks surface concrete conditions your team can verify and improve—without pretending that a checklist can guarantee a ranking or citation.
Specific checks. Visible reasoning.
AI Visibility is included in Pro and follows the same rule-based approach as the rest of the audit. A finding should tell you what was observed and why it matters, so the recommendation can be reviewed in context.
Structured data
Check for machine-readable markup that describes the page and its entities. Markup must match visible content and use properties the publisher can support.
Entity signals
Review whether the site clearly identifies the organization, product, authorship, and relationships that help systems interpret who and what a page represents.
Crawler access
Inspect relevant robots directives and access rules. Search and AI services use different crawlers and controls; blocking one purpose does not necessarily block another.
Optional llms.txt
Record whether an llms.txt file is present. It is an emerging voluntary convention, not a Google ranking signal, and its presence alone does not improve rankings or citations.
Find barriers your team can act on.
- Expose missing or inconsistent technical signals.
- Make entity and page relationships easier to review.
- Document crawler rules instead of assuming access.
- Create a repeatable baseline for future rescans.
No audit can promise inclusion.
AI systems choose sources using their own changing retrieval, ranking, safety, and product rules. A technically ready site can still be omitted from an answer.
SiteRevive IQ does not guarantee rankings, AI inclusion, citations, referral traffic, or a particular answer. It does not replace useful original content, earned authority, or editorial judgment.
A crawler directive is not access control. Private reports, application pages, and customer data must be protected by authentication and authorization.
Structured data must describe the visible page accurately. Adding unsupported review, certification, person, or offer claims can reduce trust and create policy risk.
Audit, decide, improve, verify.
- CaptureRecord the current site and relevant machine-readable signals.
- ReviewConfirm each finding against business context and current platform guidance.
- ImproveFix the page, markup, entity, or access condition that supports the recommendation.
- RescanCompare the same categories and document what changed.
AI readiness, without the hype.
Does AI Visibility guarantee a citation in an AI answer?
No. It checks technical readiness signals and does not guarantee rankings, inclusion, citations, traffic, or business outcomes.
Is llms.txt required?
No. SiteRevive IQ can record whether the optional file is present, but it is not a Google ranking signal and support varies by service.
Are AI crawlers controlled by one robots rule?
No. Services may use different user agents and separate controls for search or retrieval and model training. Review each provider’s current documentation before changing policy.
Does schema markup make a page trustworthy?
No. Structured data helps machines interpret content, but it must match the visible page. Trust still depends on accurate content, clear sourcing, consistent entities, and real-world evidence.
