## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### What can GEO Site Audit check on your website?

- 🤖 **AI bot access** — Are GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended allowed in your robots.txt?
- 📄 **llms.txt** — Does your `/llms.txt` exist? It's the new robots.txt for LLMs.
- 🗺️ **Sitemap** — Is there a valid `sitemap.xml` for AI crawlers to discover your pages?
- 🏷️ **Schema.org / JSON-LD** — Do you have structured data types like Organization, FAQ, HowTo?
- 🚫 **Meta AI tags** — Are `noai` or `noimageai` directives silently blocking AI systems?
- 📝 **Content extractability** — Is your content server-rendered (SSR), or is it locked behind JavaScript that AI crawlers can't execute?
- 🔒 **HTTPS + HSTS** — Is your site trusted and secure?
- ⚡ **TTFB** — Does your server respond fast enough? AI crawlers time out slow servers.

### Use GEO Site Audit via API

With Apify's API, you can trigger audits programmatically, integrate into your CI/CD pipeline, or schedule weekly checks.

**Python:**

```python
import requests

run = requests.post(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dltik~geo-site-audit/runs",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"},
    json={"url": "https://example.com/"}
).json()

print(run["data"]["id"])  # run ID to fetch results
```

**curl:**

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dltik~geo-site-audit/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/"}'
```

***

### Schedule weekly AI readiness checks

Use **Apify Schedules** to automatically audit your site every week and get notified if your score drops. Connect to **Slack, Zapier, or Make** via webhooks to trigger alerts when issues are detected.

***

### FAQ

**Is this legal?**
Yes. GEO Site Audit only reads publicly accessible files (robots.txt, sitemap.xml, homepage HTML). No login, no credentials, no rate limiting issues.

**My score is 76 but I still don't appear in ChatGPT. Why?**
Technical readiness is a prerequisite, not a guarantee. A score of 76 means AI crawlers *can* access your site — but content quality, authority, and brand mentions also determine if AI models reference you. Use [GEO Visibility Score](https://apify.com/dltik/geo-visibility-score) to measure actual AI mention rates.

**What is llms.txt and why does it matter?**
`/llms.txt` is an emerging standard (similar to robots.txt) that gives AI systems a structured Markdown summary of your site. Perplexity and other AI crawlers are starting to prioritize sites that have it.

**I got an error for my URL. What should I check?**
Make sure the URL starts with `https://` and your site is publicly accessible. If behind a login or firewall, the audit cannot run.

**Can I audit competitor sites?**
Yes — the audit only uses public data. Auditing competitors gives you a benchmark to compare your AI readiness score against theirs.

**I need help or a custom solution.**
Open an issue on the [Issues tab](https://apify.com/dltik/geo-site-audit/issues) or contact us through Apify. We offer custom GEO auditing solutions for agencies.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "url": "https://stripe.com/",
  "urls": []
}' |
apify call dltik/geo-site-audit --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dltik/geo-site-audit"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
