# ansly — Full Site Content

## Product Overview

ansly (tryansly.com) is a free AI-readiness scanner for websites. It helps marketing teams, SEOs, and developers understand how visible their website is to AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

B2B buyers increasingly use AI assistants to research software tools, vendors, and services. If your website isn't structured for AI consumption, you're invisible to a growing share of your potential customers. ansly measures this readiness and gives you prioritized, actionable fixes.

## What We Audit

The tool runs ~47 deterministic checks across 6 categories:

### 1. llms.txt Presence & Quality
- Does llms.txt exist at the root of your domain?
- Is it well-formed (H1, blockquote description, H2 sections)?
- Does it link to llms-full.txt for richer context?
- Does the homepage link to llms.txt?
- Are .md documentation links included?

### 2. Structured Data (JSON-LD)
- Does the homepage include JSON-LD schema?
- Is there an Organization schema with name, URL, description, logo?
- Is there a SoftwareApplication or Product schema?
- Is there a FAQPage schema for key questions?
- Are all JSON-LD blocks valid (parseable, with @context and @type)?

### 3. AI Crawler Access
- Does robots.txt exist?
- Are GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended explicitly allowed?
- Is a sitemap referenced in robots.txt?

### 4. AI Agent Readiness
- Does sitemap.xml exist?
- Is it valid XML with page URLs?
- Are canonical tags present on key pages?
- Is there an og:image for social/AI preview?
- Is there a meta description?

### 5. Content Quality
- Does the homepage have a clear H1?
- Is there sufficient text content visible to crawlers?
- Is the content-to-markup ratio healthy (>15%)?
- Are headings structured hierarchically?

### 6. Citation Probe (Optional)
- Live queries to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity asking about your company or product
- Returns citation rate and mention context

## How It Works

1. **Enter your URL** — Paste any B2B website URL.
2. **We crawl ~15 key pages** — The crawler fetches homepage, about, pricing, contact, and other key pages with rate limiting (3 concurrent, 500ms delay, 10s timeout per page).
3. **47 checks run deterministically** — Pure HTML parsing, no AI required. Fast and free.
4. **Get your score** — An overall score from 0–100 with per-category breakdowns.
5. **See prioritized recommendations** — Each failing check comes with an implementation guide.
6. **(Optional) Run citation probing** — 31 AI queries across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to see if they cite your site.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is AEO (AI Engine Optimization)?**
AEO is the practice of structuring your website content so that AI language models — like those powering ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — can easily discover, understand, and cite your site. It includes technical signals (llms.txt, structured data, robots.txt) and content quality.

**How is AEO different from SEO?**
SEO optimizes for traditional search engine ranking algorithms. AEO optimizes for AI answer engines that synthesize answers from multiple sources. While there is overlap (both value quality content and structured markup), AEO adds AI-specific signals like llms.txt, explicit AI crawler permissions, and richer structured data schemas.

**What is llms.txt?**
llms.txt is a plain-text file placed at the root of your website (e.g., yoursite.com/llms.txt) that tells AI crawlers what your site is about and where to find key information. It follows a Markdown-like format with an H1 title, a blockquote description, and H2 sections linking to important pages. Learn more at llmstxt.org.

**How much does an audit cost?**
The site audit (47 checks across 6 categories) is completely free for both guests and members. Citation probing (which sends live queries to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity) costs us approximately $0.05 per audit in API fees and is available to members.

**How long does an audit take?**
The site audit typically completes in 30–60 seconds depending on the site's response time. Citation probing takes an additional 30–60 seconds.

**What sites does it work on?**
ansly works on any publicly accessible website. It's optimized for B2B SaaS, software tools, professional services, and tech companies, but can audit any site.

**Can I audit my competitor's site?**
Yes. You can audit any public URL. The compare feature lets you benchmark up to 3 sites side-by-side.

## About the Team
