AI Search Optimization Services: Do The Groundwork In Your Agent OS With Five Copy-Paste Prompts

By Julian Goldie · 11 November 2026 · agentos.guide

AI search optimization services start with groundwork your Agent OS can do in an afternoon: checking crawler access, sweeping snippet tags, drafting schema and writing briefs.

This guide gives you a quick start and five copy-paste prompts, all read-only or draft-only.

When the groundwork is done and you want a team on the rest, book a free SEO strategy session or go straight to Book a free SEO strategy session.

What your agent can and can't do here

An agent is brilliant at reading files, crawling exports and drafting.

It shouldn't publish pages, edit robots.txt live or send outreach on its own.

The rules it checks against are public: Google's AI features page says AI Overviews and AI Mode have no extra requirements beyond being indexed and snippet-eligible.

That keeps the job grounded: make the normal foundations solid on every platform, then measure.

Nobody, human or agent, can guarantee a ranking or a mention in ChatGPT.

Every platform builds AI answers on top of its normal crawl and index.

Microsoft's Bing Webmaster Guidelines say Bing and Copilot rely on the same crawling, indexing and ranking foundation as classic search.

If a crawler can't fetch a page, or a snippet tag tells it not to quote the page, no amount of clever writing gets that page into an answer.

That's why the first two prompts check access and preview controls before you spend a minute on content.

Quick start in four steps

1. Export your sitemap, a week of server logs and your About and contact page text into one folder.
2. Open a fresh Agent OS session and tell it the folder is read-only.
3. Run Prompts 1 and 2 first, because access problems make every other fix pointless.
4. Save each output as a dated file so you can compare next month.

Prompt 1: check robots.txt and logs for AI crawlers

OpenAI's crawler documentation says sites opted out of OAI-SearchBot won't be shown in ChatGPT search answers, while GPTBot is a separate training setting.

Perplexity's crawler page and Anthropic's help article make the same split between search and training bots.

You are my AI search access auditor. Read only. Change nothing.
1. Fetch https://[my-domain]/robots.txt and report the rules that apply to:
   OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot, Bingbot,
   GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.
2. Label each one: search crawler or training crawler.
3. Flag any search crawler that is disallowed.
4. Read the attached server log export and count requests from each
   search crawler by status code. Flag 403, 429 and 503 responses.
5. Output a table plus a short fix list. Do not edit any file.

If the logs show 403s, check your CDN: OpenAI's ChatGPT search article asks owners to allow its published searchbot IP addresses.

Prompt 2: sweep snippet and preview controls

Google's robots meta tag documentation says nosnippet also stops content being used as a direct input for AI Overviews and AI Mode.

On Bing, NOARCHIVE and NOCACHE limit Copilot, and Microsoft's new training and grounding preferences replace them from 1 February 2027.

Read only. Crawl the URLs in the attached sitemap (max 500).
For each URL, report:
- meta robots and X-Robots-Tag values
- nosnippet, max-snippet, data-nosnippet, noindex, noarchive, nocache
Group results by page template. Mark anything that limits AI Overviews,
AI Mode or Copilot. Give me a list of templates to review with my
developer. Do not change anything.

Prompt 3: draft Organisation schema from your own facts

Google's Organization markup docs say the markup helps Google tell your organisation apart from others, and sameAs links your other profiles.

Google also says there's no special schema needed for AI features, so treat this as clarity work.

Draft Organization JSON-LD for my home page. Draft only.
Use ONLY facts from the attached About page and contact page:
name, url, logo, address, telephone, email, sameAs (my real profile URLs).
If a fact is missing, leave the property out and list it as a question.
Make sure every value matches text visible on my site.
Return the JSON-LD in a code block plus a list of gaps.

Have a developer validate the output with the Rich Results Test before it goes live.

Prompt 4: a content brief built on what only you know

Google's generative AI optimisation guide puts unique, non-commodity content ahead of every other suggestion it makes.

Your agent can't invent first-hand experience, but it can organise yours.

Write a content brief for one service page. Draft only.
Inputs: my call notes (attached), my service list, three real customer
questions.
Brief format:
- The question this page answers
- The answer in two sentences
- First-hand proof only we have (photos, process, examples)
- Facts that must be stated outright
- One clear next step for the reader
Do not invent results, reviews or numbers. Flag anything you need from me.

Prompt 5: outreach research, draft only

Google's spam policies treat links made mainly to manipulate rankings as link spam, and paid placements need rel="sponsored" or nofollow.

So the agent researches and drafts; a person decides and sends.

Research outreach targets for [topic]. Draft only. Send nothing.
Find 25 sites my customers already read that publish about [topic].
For each: site name, URL, a relevant recent article, the contact page URL.
Skip link networks, directories built for links and sites selling
"guaranteed" placements.
Draft one short pitch idea per site. I review and send every email
myself. Note that any paid placement must use rel="sponsored".

A short weekly workflow

• Monday: rerun Prompt 1 on fresh logs and compare with last week.
• Tuesday: turn one customer conversation into a brief with Prompt 4.
• Wednesday: write and publish that page yourself.
• Thursday: check Search Console's Generative AI performance report and Bing's AI Performance dashboard.
• Friday: review the outreach drafts from Prompt 5 and send the good ones by hand.

In our own analytics, ChatGPT visits tend to appear with chatgpt.com as the source, so add a segment for it while you're there.

How to read what the prompts give back

Start with the access table from Prompt 1.

A disallowed search crawler is the most urgent fix on the list, because nothing else matters until that bot can read your pages.

A disallowed training crawler isn't a fault; it's a choice, and you should simply confirm you made it on purpose.

Next, sort the Prompt 2 results by template rather than by URL.

One stray tag on a shared template can hide hundreds of pages, so fixing the template beats fixing pages one at a time.

For the schema draft, the gap list matters more than the JSON itself, since every gap is a fact your site doesn't state clearly yet.

Treat the briefs and outreach lists as starting points that still need your judgement.

Keep every output in a dated folder, and ask the agent to compare this month with last month before you change anything new.

Two small-business runs

A landscaping business

1. Prompt 1 finds the host firewall returning 403s to PerplexityBot; the owner asks the host to allow its published IP ranges.
2. Prompt 3 drafts LocalBusiness markup from the contact page, with sameAs links to the Business Profile.
3. Prompt 4 turns a call about drought-proof gardens into a brief with the owner's own project photos.

A wedding photographer

1. Prompt 2 finds max-snippet:0 left on every gallery template and flags it for review.
2. Prompt 4 builds a venue guide brief from real shoots at local venues.
3. Prompt 5 lists wedding blogs and venue sites to pitch, with every email sent by the photographer.

Things your agent should never be told to do

• Create pages for every phrasing of a query; Google says that can fall under scaled content abuse.
• Build llms.txt as a Google tactic; Google says Google Search ignores those files.
• Post fake mentions or reviews; Google's guide says inauthentic mentions don't help.
• Change live files without you reading the diff first.

When to hand it to a pro

The agent gets you a clean audit, a schema draft and a pile of briefs.

What stays hard is the slow work: entity cleanup across dozens of profiles, earning real editorial links, and reporting that ties AI visibility to enquiries.

That's where Goldie Agency comes in, with link building it describes as "Manual outreach, no PBNs".

Going by Julian's own published figures, the team has worked on 1,000+ campaigns for 240+ clients, and Julian shares his tests with 425K+ YouTube subscribers.

FAQ

Can my Agent OS edit robots.txt for me?

It can draft the change, but keep the live edit with a person. The prompts on this page are read-only or draft-only on purpose.

Which crawler should the audit check first?

OAI-SearchBot, because OpenAI says sites that opt out of it will not be shown in ChatGPT search answers. Then PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot and Bingbot.

Will the schema prompt improve my AI Overviews visibility?

Google says no special schema is needed for AI features. Organisation markup helps Google tell your business apart from others, so treat it as clarity work.

Can the agent send outreach emails?

It shouldn't. Let it research sites and draft pitch ideas, then read and send every email yourself.
