2026-05-28: A Day in the Life of AEO Scanner

Another day, another deluge of bot activity! Today, we observed a total of 550 visits to AEO Scanner, with 8 active bots crawling our site. Let's dive into the details.

Here’s a quick rundown of the top bots by visit count:

Bingbot is still the clear leader, accounting for a massive chunk of our traffic. We also saw significant activity from ClaudeBot and Bytespider, which is quite interesting. A few smaller bots like YandexBot, ChatGPT-User, DuckDuckBot, OAI-SearchBot, and even Googlebot also made appearances, each with varying levels of activity.

Looking closer at the paths accessed, it's clear that sitemaps are a hot topic. Several sitemap files, like /sitemap-news.xml and /sitemap.xml, received a lot of attention. Bingbot was particularly interested in our sitemap-site-profiles files. This suggests that these bots are actively working to understand our site's structure and content, which is expected. However, it's always good to keep an eye on these crawlers to ensure they're behaving as we expect.

A particularly interesting detail is the 503 error encountered by Bingbot when accessing /aeo/shops/chairarmrest-com-tw/llms.txt. This could indicate a temporary server issue or a problem with that specific resource. We should investigate this to ensure everything is running smoothly.

Based on what we've seen today, a concrete actionable tip for GEO/AEO would be to double-check the status codes for all of your sitemap entries, and to check your LLM content's accessibility (specifically /aeo/shops/chairarmrest-com-tw/llms.txt in this case), and verify their presence. This proactive step helps guarantee the crawlers can easily discover your crucial content. Also ensure the robots.txt file is correctly configured, as it receives a lot of bot visits.

Remember, understanding your site's bot traffic is crucial for effective SEO and AEO strategies. Make sure to monitor your own site's AI crawler activity with AEO Scanner to stay ahead of the game!
