Prospective students are asking an assistant about you. Can it read your site?
Most universities look healthy in Google and are invisible in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. The usual cause is not content. It is a bot rule at the edge, a robots.txt line, or course detail that only exists after JavaScript runs. This audit checks all seven in about a minute, from our servers, with real crawler User-Agents.
What we check
- 01
AI crawler policy
Which AI crawlers your robots.txt allows, split by answer engine and training bot.
- 02
Edge and WAF behavior
We replay your homepage as OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot and GPTBot to see if the edge blocks or challenges them.
- 03
Structured data
Whether CollegeOrUniversity, Course, BreadcrumbList and FAQPage schema exist and parse.
- 04
Course discovery
Whether course pages are in a sitemap and return readable server-rendered HTML.
- 05
PDF dependency
Whether fees, entry requirements and prospectus content are locked in PDFs.
- 06
llms.txt
Whether you publish an llms.txt map of the pages you want quoted.
- 07
Platform fingerprint
The CMS and edge stack, so fixes land in the right place.
