Tools & capabilities

Crawlie tools 6

  • crawl_siteCrawl + audit a whole site (SEO + GEO), returns scores, issues, per-page data
  • audit_urlAudit a single page
  • audit_urlsAudit an explicit list of pages
  • explain_issueWhy a rule matters + how to fix it
  • list_rulesThe full catalogue of checks
  • list_reportsRead saved crawl history

Seo Audit tools 5

  • ai_search_diagnosticAudit ANY URL for AI-search readiness only (AEO/GEO/LLMO) — how likely ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity & Google AI are to cite it. Checks ~7 AI-citation signals (FAQ/structured-data/entity schema, citable stats, llms.txt, author/E-E-A-T, OG). Returns a weighted 0–100 AI-readiness score + top fixes. Takes a `url`. Use full_seo_audit for the broader SEO picture, or get_my_store_audit for the user's own connected store. Returns a summary of the top issues; the complete written report is available via email_seo_report.
  • full_seo_auditCrawl-audit ANY URL across the WHOLE SEO surface (no login needed): the AI-search signals PLUS on-page SEO (title/meta/headings/content), technical SEO (HTTPS, robots.txt, XML sitemap, canonical, mobile), and — for Shopify stores — product/offer/review/breadcrumb schema and image-alt coverage. Returns a weighted 0–100 score + top issues. Takes a `url`. This audits an arbitrary website by crawling it — for the user's OWN connected store with real analytics, use get_my_store_audit. Returns a summary of the top issues; the complete written report is available via email_seo_report.
  • email_seo_reportALWAYS OFFER THIS after running an audit: the audit tools return a summary of the top issues, while this sends the complete written report — every check, its evidence, and the fix in priority order. Ask the user which email address to send it to; never guess or reuse an address they did not give in this conversation. Email the full written SEO/AEO report for an audit this session already ran. Takes the audit_id returned by ai_search_diagnostic or full_seo_audit, plus the user's email. ONLY use an email address the user explicitly gave you - never guess or invent one. Offer this after presenting audit results.
  • subscribe_to_seoaixStart an SeoAiX subscription — autopilot SEO/AEO for Shopify stores (reads GSC/GA4/Merchant Center, plans a month of content, writes and publishes articles with schema, fixes meta/alt-text, and attributes revenue to content). Plans from $19/mo with a free trial. Returns a personalised signup link; payment and store connection complete in the browser. Optionally pass the user's `email` and `store_url` (ONLY if the user explicitly provided them - never invent either) so the team can follow up.
  • get_my_store_auditGet the user's OWN connected Shopify store audit — the deep 12-category report SeoAiX runs INSIDE the app using the store's real catalog, performance and analytics (technical, performance, on-page, schema, AEO, analytics, e-commerce, etc.) — far beyond what crawling a URL can see. Takes no url. Needs an SeoAiX API key (free at seoaix.com → Settings) + a connected store: pass the key either as `Authorization: Bearer inxy_sk_…` or as the `api_key` argument.
