The focus is the technical layer AI search depends on: crawler access, rendering, speed, structure and markup. AI technical SEO makes sure search engines and AI crawlers can access, render and understand your website: robots rules, AI bot policies, llms.txt, sitemaps, rendering, speed, internal links and server logs.
AI tools can only cite what their crawlers can fetch and parse. Many sites accidentally block AI bots, hide content behind JavaScript or bury key pages. Fixing access is the cheapest visibility gain available.

The process, step by step
- Collect. Robots.txt, CDN and firewall settings, sitemaps and 30 to 90 days of server logs.
- Test access. Fetch key pages as each major crawler and compare the output.
- Decide policy. Agree which bots to allow, limit or block, and why.
- Implement. Update rules, rendering, sitemaps, llms.txt and links with your developer or directly.
- Verify. Confirm with logs and live tests that the right bots now reach the right pages.

Frequently asked questions
Can JavaScript sites be cited by AI tools?
Yes, if the important content is in the initial HTML or reliably rendered. Many AI crawlers do not execute JavaScript, so server-side rendering is the safe choice.
Why check server logs?
Logs show what crawlers actually do, not what you hope they do. They reveal blocked bots, wasted crawl on junk URLs and pages that are never visited.
Does blocking GPTBot remove me from ChatGPT search?
Not necessarily. OpenAI uses different user agents for training and for search. You can block training while allowing the search crawler, which is a common choice.
Is llms.txt an official standard?
No. It is a proposed convention and support varies by tool. It is cheap to add and can help some AI tools find your key pages, but it does not replace robots.txt, sitemaps or good content.
My CDN blocks bots by default. Is that a problem?
It can be. Some CDN and security settings block AI crawlers silently. I check and adjust these rules with you.
