What Sitebulb can't tell you
The three findings every AvocadoScore report surfaces that other tools physically can't — because they audit one side of the visibility equation.
Whether GPTBot can read your site
We fetch your homepage twice — once as a browser, once as GPTBot — and compare. Big content drops mean LLMs see a stripped page; CDN bot-detection is the usual culprit.
Whether your llms.txt is actually useful
Presence isn't quality. We validate that your llms.txt has a heading, link count, and sections — the things that make it a real content map for answer engines, not a tickbox file.
Which one fix is the quick win
We rank recommendations by severity × effort and call out true quick wins. You leave with three things to ship Monday, not 47 findings to sort.
Questions, answered
Is AvocadoScore a replacement for Sitebulb?+
It replaces the audit workflow, not the underlying data. Sitebulb does its job well; AvocadoScore scans your whole site in one pass, adds an SEO and AI-readiness scorecard, and hands your engineer a ranked, copy-paste fix list — the parts Sitebulb leaves out.
Does Sitebulb check AI readiness?+
No. Sitebulb predates the answer-engine era. AvocadoScore checks whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot can crawl, parse and cite your site — llms.txt, AI bot policies, structured data and server-rendered content — so you show up when people ask ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity instead of Googling.
How much does AvocadoScore cost?+
Nothing — the full audit is free, no signup, every fix unlocked. Re-run it any time to check after shipping fixes. An optional $9/mo Monitor adds automatic monthly re-scans and regression alerts if you want that too.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. Paste a URL and you get a shareable report in about 60 seconds — no browser extension, no CLI, no CI setup. The report is one link you can forward to engineering or a client.
