aeo.noai

InfoAEO audit

The page sets noai or noimageai, directives no major answer engine documents support for.

What to change

To opt out of AI training, say so in robots.txt (a `User-Agent: __usage_ai-training` group with `Disallow: /`, or groups for GPTBot, ClaudeBot and Google-Extended). If the page should appear in AI answers, remove noai to avoid mixed signals.

A finding of this rule on a page carries the exact edits for that page: the markup it quotes, and what to write instead.

When it runs

Runs on every AEO audit: of a page, a crawl, a build directory or HTML. Info is a best practice: worth doing, rarely urgent, and --no-info leaves it out. Each finding takes 1 point off the page's score.

The severity here is the rule's usual one: a finding can be raised or lowered when the page gives a reason.

Run it, or skip it

Check a page for this rule alone, after a fix for instance:

npx @rivi-software/agentic-seo-check aeo https://example.com --rule aeo.noai

Or from an assistant, with the MCP tool seo_aeo_audit:

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "rules": [
    "aeo.noai"
  ]
}

To leave it out of an audit, pass --disable aeo.noai on the command, or disableRules: ["aeo.noai"] to a tool.
