2026-05-07 Daily AEO Scanner Report

# 2026-05-07: A Day in the Life of AEO Scanner

Alright team, another day, another dive into the fascinating world of AI crawlers! Today, we saw a total of **863** visits to the site, with **8** active bots keeping things interesting. It's always a bit of a dance, isn't it? Let's break down the major players and see what they were up to.

## Top Bots by Visit Count

Here’s a quick rundown of the top bots that were active on our site today:

| Bot Name | Visits | Unique Paths |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| Bingbot | 502 | 492 |
| AhrefsBot | 317 | 316 |
| ClaudeBot | 35 | 6 |
| YandexBot | 3 | 3 |
| Bytespider | 2 | 1 |

It’s clear that Bingbot and AhrefsBot are still the dominant forces, accounting for the vast majority of bot traffic. ClaudeBot continues its steady crawl, and we still see minor traffic from YandexBot, Bytespider, DuckDuckBot and Googlebot. Their crawl patterns reveal important insights.

### Interesting Crawl Patterns

The most interesting trend today involves Bytespider, which had **2** visits focusing on `/aeo/shops/sites-google-com/llms.txt`. Interestingly, this same path also triggered a 503 error, as well as a 404 error on `xn-hxt89po1jl6p-tw`. This is a clear indicator of a potential issue with a LLM accessing our site - the crawler is encountering some problems on specific resources.

Also, the fact that both `/sitemap.xml` and `/sitemap-news.xml` were hit *multiple times* (16 visits each!) by two different bots, suggests they're crucial for bot navigation. And the `/robots.txt` file also registered heavy traffic (12 visits by 6 bots), indicating bots are diligently following the rules.

### Actionable GEO/AEO Tip

Given the observed activity, here's a concrete tip: Since we're seeing both 404 and 503 errors and heavy access to sitemaps and robots.txt, we should prioritize auditing the `/aeo/shops/` subdirectories. Specifically, we should check what resources are being accessed by the bots, and ensure that those resources are correctly served or appropriately blocked, according to our `robots.txt` file. We should also check the server status of the sites with errors.

This will help to reduce errors, improve crawl efficiency, and ensure that our critical content is accessible to all crawlers.

### Conclusion

That's all for today's scan! Remember, keeping a close eye on your site's AI traffic is essential for optimizing your SEO strategy. Use the AEO Scanner to understand how crawlers interact with your site, and adjust your approach accordingly.

Happy scanning!
