Frequently Asked Questions

What is Paceghost?

Paceghost is an Agentic AI Optimization (AIO) platform designed to help website owners and managers see their site through the lens of AI. It provides the tools to analyze and control your visibility in the current landscape of AI Search (like Google's AI Overviews) and prepares your site for the next generation of autonomous AI Agents.

What core problem does Paceghost solve?

Traditional tools like robots.txt are merely polite requests that many bots can ignore, leaving your content exposed and your AI strategy incomplete. Paceghost solves this by giving you a complete, actionable picture of your AI-readiness posture — auditing your crawler permissions, analyzing how AI models interpret your content, and surfacing the gaps before they affect your visibility.

Who is Paceghost for?

The platform is built for SEO managers, developers, UX designers, and any professional responsible for a website's discoverability, performance, and security in the age of AI.

How does Paceghost check my site's AI crawler directives?

When you run a scan, PaceghostBot fetches your robots.txt, llms.txt, and ai.txt files directly from your domain. It parses each file and cross-references them against the known user agents of all major AI crawlers — showing you exactly which bots are permitted, which are blocked, and whether your directives are correctly formed. The result appears in your scan dashboard and report as your Crawlability analysis.

What is the "AI Lens," and what do I get from an audit?

The AI Lens is our core analysis feature. When you request a report, the platform simulates how AI systems interpret your website. The output is a comprehensive report and dashboard that analyses:

• Your site's overall AI-readiness score.
• Correct implementation of robots.txt, llms.txt, and other emerging standards.
• Metadata, structured data, and content flow for AI comprehension.

While our long-term vision includes multi-step AI agent simulations, we currently focus on providing this foundational readiness audit.

Can I see an example of a Paceghost report?

Yes. While we are too new for formal case studies, we maintain a public list of real reports generated by our users. You can see live examples of our analysis on the Reports Overview page .

What is PaceghostBot?

PaceghostBot is the official, well-behaved crawler used by the Paceghost.io platform. Its purpose is to analyse a public webpage only when requested by a user to generate an AI-readiness report. It does not perform unsolicited crawling or store personal data.

What is the PaceghostBot user agent?

PaceghostBot identifies itself with the following user agent string:

PaceghostBot/1.0 (+https://www.paceghost.io/resources/paceghostbot/)

How can I control or block PaceghostBot?

PaceghostBot fully respects robots.txt directives. If you do not want it to scan your site, add the following to your robots.txt:

User-agent: PaceghostBot
Disallow: /

For full documentation, see the PaceghostBot documentation page .

What is the pricing for Paceghost?

Paceghost offers a free tier with basic AI visibility scans and paid plans for deeper analysis. We also offer "founder's access" for early adopters with limited-time lifetime pricing slots. See the billing page in the app for current plans and features.

Do you offer integrations with other platforms?

We are currently focused on perfecting our core analysis tools. Based on user demand, we are exploring API and MCP (Model Context Protocol) access to the platform.

Your feedback is crucial in shaping our roadmap. If you have a specific integration you need or a feature you would like to see, please send us an email at [email protected].
