Frequently Asked Questions

What is Paceghost?

Paceghost is an Agentic AI Optimization (AIO) platform designed to help website owners and managers see their site through the lens of AI. It provides the tools to analyze and control your visibility in the current landscape of AI Search (like Google's AI Overviews) and prepares your site for the next generation of autonomous AI Agents.

What core problem does Paceghost solve?

Traditional tools like robots.txt are merely polite requests that many bots can ignore, leaving your content exposed and your AI strategy incomplete. Paceghost solves this by moving beyond simple text files to provide a complete AI-readiness posture, including technically enforced crawler rules that act as a firewall.

Who is Paceghost for?

The platform is built for SEO managers, developers, UX designers, and any professional responsible for a website's discoverability, performance, and security in the age of AI.

How does Paceghost's "edge" technology work?

Instead of relying solely on a static robots.txt file on your server, Paceghost serves your crawler directives from the "edge." This means your rules are delivered through a globally distributed network that can actively enforce them before a bot reaches your website. This turns your directives from a passive request into an active, technically enforced firewall, ensuring your rules are respected.

What is the "AI Lens," and what do I get from an audit?

The AI Lens is our core analysis feature. When you request a report, the platform simulates how AI systems interpret your website. The output is a comprehensive report and dashboard that analyses:

• Your site's overall AI-readiness score.
• Correct implementation of robots.txt, llms.txt, and other emerging standards.
• Metadata, structured data, and content flow for AI comprehension.

While our long-term vision includes multi-step AI agent simulations, the current public beta focuses on providing this foundational readiness audit.

Can I see an example of a Paceghost report?

Yes. While we are too new for formal case studies, we maintain a public list of real reports generated by our users. You can see live examples of our analysis on the Reports Overview page .

What is PaceghostBot?

PaceghostBot is the official, well-behaved crawler used by the Paceghost.io platform. Its purpose is to analyse a public webpage only when requested by a user to generate an AI-readiness report. It does not perform unsolicited crawling or store personal data.

What is the PaceghostBot user agent?

PaceghostBot identifies itself with the following user agent string:

PaceghostBot/1.0 (+https://www.paceghost.io/resources/paceghostbot/)

How can I control or block PaceghostBot?

PaceghostBot fully respects robots.txt directives. If you do not want it to scan your site, add the following to your robots.txt:

User-agent: PaceghostBot
Disallow: /

For full documentation, see the PaceghostBot documentation page .

What is the pricing for Paceghost?

Paceghost is currently in a public beta and is free to use. Our immediate goal is to gather feedback and validate the platform with our first 100 users. Once we move out of the initial beta, we plan to offer "founder's access" limited paid subscriptions.

Do you offer integrations with other platforms?

Paceghost is currently focused on perfecting its core analysis tools during our public beta. Following this phase, and based directly on user demand, we will look into providing API or MCP (Multi-Channel Publisher) access to our platform.

Your feedback is crucial in shaping our roadmap. If you have a specific integration you need or a feature you would like to see, please send us an email at info@paceghost.io.
