CiteFlowBot

CiteFlowBot is the web crawler operated by CiteFlow, an AI content operations platform.

What we do

CiteFlowBot fetches publicly accessible pages of websites to analyse structural readiness for SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), and LLMO (Large Language Model Optimisation). Our analysis runs on behalf of CiteFlow customers and the CiteFlow team's own product development.
