Technical SEO tools

Sitemap and robots.txt are the foundation for clean indexing.

Sitemap Hub (Crawl + AI Audit)

The Sitemap Hub crawls your sitemap, checks all URLs for reachability and lets the AI classify each URL: content page, redirect, technical page or error. You instantly see which URLs don't belong in the sitemap.

robots.txt Editor + AI Analysis

Edit your robots.txt directly in the browser. The AI analyzes your existing rules and finds issues: accidentally blocked pages, missing sitemap references or outdated rules that are no longer needed.

AI Rule Generation

Describe in natural language what should be blocked, and the AI generates the appropriate robots.txt rules. Ideal for beginners unfamiliar with the syntax.

URL Classification

Automatic categorization of all crawled URLs by type: content pages, blog posts, category pages, legal pages and more. A visual distribution chart shows you at a glance how your website is structured.

Crawl Analysis

Comprehensive crawl metrics at a glance: response times, HTTP status code distribution, redirect chains and canonical tag analysis. Spot technical issues before they affect your rankings.

Content Optimizer

AI-powered content optimization for any URL or pasted text. Get specific SEO and GEO improvement suggestions to optimize your content for search engines and AI systems simultaneously. Uses credits per analysis.

Sitemap Monitor (own + external) (NEW)

Keep an eye on both your own and external competitor sitemaps. The monitor runs on a schedule and alerts you when new or vanished URLs appear. Both in the same dashboard with an "Own / External" switcher.

AI Crawler Audit (NEW)

Live robots.txt check verifies whether the major AI crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, GoogleOther) can reach your site. A single accidentally blocked AI-bot line can cost you your entire AI visibility.

Yes, the AI analyzes your existing robots.txt and suggests specific improvements. You can apply the suggestions directly in the editor or adjust them. Additionally, you can describe in natural language what you want to block, and the AI generates the appropriate syntax.
A regular check every 2-4 weeks is recommended, especially if you frequently create new pages or delete existing ones. This ensures that the sitemap is up to date and contains no 404 errors or unnecessary redirects.
