AI search readiness Q&A: every GEO Fix guide in one place
This hub lists every AI search readiness guide GEO Fix has published, grouped by topic: AI crawlers and user-agents, llms.txt, schema.org JSON-LD markup, CMS platforms, and GEO/AEO strategy. Pick the group that matches your current blocker, or run Express Check first to see which fixes apply to your site.
Every guide below is a single answer-first page: what the problem is, the fix, and what the fix does not promise. None of them guarantee AI citation, ranking, or sales outcomes — they cover crawl access, structure, and verification steps you control directly.
How the guides are organized
- AI crawlers and user-agents — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bingbot and more: how to identify, allow, and verify each one.
- llms.txt — what the file is, how to publish it on major platforms, and when it is worth the effort.
- schema.org for AI search — Organization, Product, FAQPage and Breadcrumb JSON-LD that make pages easier to parse.
- Platforms — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow and WooCommerce specific crawl and visibility fixes.
- GEO/AEO strategy — how generative engine optimization differs from SEO and where it fits your roadmap.
