LLM Seeding checklist
Eighteen checks in six groups. Tick what is already in place, read your score and export the result. It runs in your browser and sends nothing anywhere.

How to use the checklist
- 01Pick a key page or the whole site and type its name in the optional field.
- 02Tick only what you have actually checked. When in doubt, leave it unticked.
- 03Read the score and the access warning. Open items 1, 2 and 3 block everything else.
- 04Export the result by copying or downloading the text, and use the next-steps list as your work agenda.
- 05Repeat every quarter, or after any major change to the site.
What is saved: your ticks and the site name live in your browser's local storage, on this device. Nothing is sent to a server, there is no account and no tracking cookie. If the browser blocks storage, the tool keeps working during your visit and a saving notice appears. Clearing browser data erases your ticks.
How does the scoring work?
Each item is worth 1 point, except five that are worth 2: the three crawler-access items (1, 2 and 3), proof for critical claims (8) and conduct on reviews and mentions (15). The total is 23 points. The percentage is the points ticked divided by 23.
| Range | Reading |
|---|---|
| 0% to 39% | Fragile foundation: open access, proof or consistency issues block the rest |
| 40% to 69% | Under construction: the essentials exist, consistency and measurement are missing |
| 70% to 89% | Good foundation: focus on measurement and external sources |
| 90% to 100% | Solid foundation: maintain, review and measure |
Worked example. A fictional site ticked items 1, 2 and 3 (6 points), 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 13 (6 points) and nothing else. That is 12 of 23 points, or 52%: the "Under construction" band. The next steps the tool would suggest are the open weight-2 items, 8 and 15, followed by weight-1 items in list order.
What are the tool's limits?
The score is a prioritization guide. It is not a market standard and has not been scientifically validated. The weights reflect the dependency order of the method: without access and proof, the rest loses value. A high score does not guarantee citation, and a low one does not rule it out. The tool does not inspect your site. It records what you say you checked. For technical verification of access, use your server logs and each company's documentation, as the Portuguese guide robots.txt para robôs de IA explains.
The 18 items explained
| # | Item | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Search and on-demand crawlers are not blocked | read robots.txt, check logs by crawler and status, test CDN and firewall |
| 2 | Main content is in the HTML without JavaScript | view the page source or open the page with JavaScript off |
| 3 | Status 200, correct canonical, no accidental noindex | URL inspection in Search Console and the HTTP headers |
| 4 | A 40 to 80 word direct answer at the top | count the words and paste the block alone into a chat |
| 5 | Terms defined at first use | read the page looking for undefined terms |
| 6 | Entities written out in full | search for "he", "the company", "our" in section openings |
| 7 | Numbers with source and date | list every number and the origin of each |
| 8 | Critical claims are checkable | for each claim, note the document or page that proves it |
| 9 | Authorship and dates | look for the author, the profile link and both dates |
| 10 | Official fact sheet | one document, with the date of the last check |
| 11 | Profiles and directories match the sheet | compare field by field |
| 12 | An independent source confirms the facts | find at least one third-party page with the same fact |
| 13 | JSON-LD consistent and valid | validate and compare with visible text |
| 14 | Tables and lists where they fit | review comparable data and steps |
| 15 | No unproven reviews, awards, clients or mentions | review the site, the schema and external sources |
| 16 | A fixed set of 20 to 50 questions | spreadsheet with questions, platforms and dates |
| 17 | Answers and sources archived | a folder with the text of each collection |
| 18 | Changes logged with dates | a chronological change log |
If an item fails, the Portuguese page Erros comuns points to the usual fix. To turn the result into a plan, read the method or what LLM Seeding is.
