Sheet 15 · Service 05 · Technical SEO & agent readiness

Found by search engines, and by the AI agents that answer for them.

We audit how search engines and AI agents read your site, score it on nine pillars, then fix what moves the number, in order.

A One site, two kinds of reader

One build, read two ways

Search ranks the page. Agents read it and quote it. We tune for both.

H Questions on this page

Is this the same as the readiness score on the homepage?

Same rule set, different depth. The homepage runs eight of the checks live in your browser, on that one page. The audit runs the full rule set across every page of your site, with the crawl evidence behind each finding, and scores it on all nine pillars.

Can you guarantee rankings or AI citations?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. Rankings and AI answers are decided by Google, Bing and the companies behind the models, and they change their methods without notice. What we promise is the work: every finding fixed or explained, the audit re-run on the same rule set, and the before and after numbers in writing.

Should I let AI crawlers in?

Usually yes for the agents that cite sources in live answers (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot): block them and you cannot be named when someone asks. Training crawlers are a real choice: letting them in helps future models know your business, blocking them costs little today. We set it deliberately either way and write the reason into robots.txt. Scrapers that give nothing back get blocked.
