Description
Good for Bots provides a comprehensive service for website owners to evaluate and enhance their site's visibility to AI crawlers and language models. The core offering is a free AI crawler check that scans a website and generates a score out of 100, indicating its machine readability and accessibility for AI. This score is based on two main components: the readable base (50 points), which assesses semantic HTML, working links, schema.org, sitemap, and robots.txt, and the agent layer (50 points), which covers specific provisions for language models like llms.txt, llms-full.txt, Markdown on request, and AI crawler rules.

Upon scanning, Good for Bots delivers a public report detailing the findings behind the score and offering fix prompts. These prompts are designed as ready-written instructions for coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, helping developers adapt changes to their specific tech stack. The platform emphasizes that the score is never influenced by payment; all plans receive the same objective evaluation. Payment instead unlocks additional tools and placement options.
The service includes a directory where public reports are listed, allowing users to compare sites. Claimed listings benefit from automatic rescans (monthly for Free, weekly for Pro) and manual rescan allowances. Pro users receive enhanced features such as email alerts for score drops or access issues, a public score history chart, ready-made llms.txt and robots.txt drafts, and prompts for every detected fix. Additionally, a live badge is available for embedding on homepages, which can earn a dofollow backlink for Free listings once detected.
Good for Bots is committed to transparency and adherence to standards. Its crawler, GoodForBotsBot, respects robots.txt directives and announces itself on every request. The platform was founded by Mateusz Pawlica, who previously built other directories, and aims to help website owners navigate the evolving landscape of AI-driven web interactions by providing clear, actionable insights into machine readability.
