Technical SEO Audit Prompts

The AI Developer

Technical SEO is code. LLMs are great at code. While AI can't crawl your site (you need Screaming Frog for that), it can analyze the data and code snippets you find.

1. The "Robots.txt" Validator

"Analyze this robots.txt file. Are there any conflicting rules? Is it accidentally blocking the 'Googlebot' user agent from accessing the '/blog/' directory? Explain what is allowed and what is disallowed in plain English. File: [PASTE ROBOTS.TXT]"

2. The Schema Markup Generator/Validator

"I need 'Product' schema for a page selling '[PRODUCT NAME]'. Price: $50. Currency: USD. Availability: In Stock. Rating: 4.5 stars (100 reviews). Generate the JSON-LD code. Ensure it meets Google's Rich Snippet requirements."

"Validate this JSON-LD code. Are there any syntax errors? missing commas? unclosed brackets? Code: [PASTE CODE]"

3. The ".htaccess" Rewrite Rule Writer

"Write a .htaccess rewrite rule to 301 redirect all URLs from the old directory '/articles/' to the new directory '/blog/'. Ensure it preserves the slug (e.g., /articles/post-1 -> /blog/post-1)."

4. The Canonical Logic Checker

"I have a product available in 3 colors (Red, Blue, Green). Each has its own URL. URL A (Red): /product-red URL B (Blue): /product-blue URL C (Green): /product-green All content is identical except the color name. How should I handle the Canonical tags to avoid duplicate content? Write the canonical tag code for each page assuming Red is the primary version."

5. The Hreflang Map Builder

"Create an XML Sitemap entry for a page that has 3 language variations (en-us, de-de, fr-fr). Include the xhtml:link rel='alternate' tags for hreflang. URLs: domain.com/en/page domain.com/de/page domain.com/fr/page"

6. The Core Web Vitals Advisor

"My LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) is 3.5 seconds. The LCP element is a large hero image. Suggest 5 technical fixes to improve load time for this specific element. (e.g., Preload, WebP, Lazy Loading logic)."

7. The Log File Analyzer (Pattern Matching)

"I have a sample of server logs. Identify the HTTP status codes. Calculate the percentage of 404 errors vs 200 OK. [PASTE 50 LINES OF LOG DATA]"

8. The Sitemap Validator

"Check this XML sitemap structure. Is it valid XML? Does it follow the standard protocol? Are there any errors in the date format? [PASTE XML]"

9. The Regex Generator for Redirect Maps

"I am migrating a site. I need a Regex pattern to match any URL that starts with '/category/' and ends with a number (pagination). Example: /category/seo/page/2/ I want to redirect them to the root category page."

Conclusion

AI is your Technical Assistant. It doesn't replace the crawl tool, but it replaces the time spent staring at documentation to remember the syntax for a complex 301 redirect. Always test code in a staging environment before deploying.
