AI SEO Agency London Groundwork In Your Agent OS: 5 Copy-Paste Prompts Before You Hire Anyone
Before you pay an AI SEO agency London rivals already use, let your Agent OS do the groundwork: a crawler check, a Business Profile review, a schema draft, an area-page brief and an outreach shortlist.
This guide gives you five copy-paste prompts for exactly that, in UK spelling, and shows where the agent should stop.
When the files are ready, book a free SEO strategy session and bring them to the call.
Quick start: set the agent up in ten minutes
- Create a project folder called
london-ai-seoin your Agent OS. - Drop in your homepage URL, your Business Profile text and a Search Console query export.
- Give the agent web fetch access but no write access to your site or accounts.
- Add one standing rule: "Draft only. Never publish, email or change a live setting."
- Run the prompts below in order and save each output as its own file.
Goldie Agency works with London businesses remotely in the same way, so these files are exactly what a remote team would ask for first.
Prompt 1: check AI crawler access
Each AI search engine documents its own crawler, and blocking it keeps you out of its answers.
Fetch https://[my-domain]/robots.txt and the homepage response headers.
For each user agent below, tell me if it is allowed, blocked or not mentioned:
Googlebot, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.
Then list any page in my sitemap that returns 403 or 429 to a normal fetch.
Explain in one line what each bot is for, using only the official docs:
developers.openai.com/api/docs/bots, docs.perplexity.ai, support.claude.com and developers.google.com.
Draft only. Do not change any file.Why it matters: per OpenAI's bot documentation, a site that opts out of OAI-SearchBot drops out of ChatGPT's search answers, though it can still show as a navigational link.
Perplexity recommends allowing PerplexityBot, and Anthropic says disabling Claude-SearchBot may reduce your visibility in Claude search.
Google's common crawlers page says Google-Extended does not affect inclusion or ranking in Google Search, so blocking it is a training choice, not an SEO one.
If the report shows GPTBot or ClaudeBot blocked, that is fine for search: both are training crawlers, and their owners document them separately from the search bots.
What you want to see is every search bot allowed and no 403 errors on your key service pages.
Prompt 2: review your Business Profile against Google's rules
Here is my Google Business Profile text: [paste name, address, categories, service area].
Check it against Google's Business Profile guidelines (support.google.com/business/answer/3038177).
Flag: keywords in the business name, a virtual office address, a co-working desk without signage or staff,
a service area wider than about 2 hours' drive, and categories used as keywords.
Give me a fix list in priority order. Draft only.London has a lot of serviced offices and co-working desks, and Google's guidelines only allow those when they are signed, staffed and open to customers.
🔥 Agent found a blocked bot or a profile problem?

Prompt 3: draft LocalBusiness schema from your own page
Read my contact page at https://[my-domain]/contact.
Draft LocalBusiness JSON-LD using the most specific schema.org type for my business.
Use only facts visible on that page: name, address, phone, opening hours, areas served.
Set addressCountry to GB. If a fact is missing, leave it out and list it for me.
Explain where each value came from. Draft only.Google's LocalBusiness guide covers the fields, and its AI features page says markup should match the visible text and that no special schema is needed for AI Overviews.
So the point of this prompt is accuracy, not a ranking trick.
Prompt 4: brief one fair borough page
From my Search Console export, list queries that mention a London borough or area.
Group them by area and by service. Pick the single area with the most impressions.
Write a content brief for one page on that area: the direct answer to the top query,
the job types I should describe, the local details I need to supply myself,
and three questions customers ask. Mark every fact I must confirm. Draft only.One real page per area beats twenty clones, and Google's spam policies list scaled content abuse as a violation however the pages are made.
Prompt 5: research a local outreach list
Find 20 London sites relevant to [my service] in [my borough]:
local news, borough business groups, trade bodies, event listings and supplier directories.
For each, give the URL, why it is relevant and the kind of contribution they publish.
Exclude link farms, private blog networks and sites selling links that pass ranking credit.
Draft only. Do not contact anyone.Goldie Agency's own wording for link building is "manual outreach, no PBNs", and any paid placement should carry rel="sponsored".
The agent researches; a person writes and sends every email.
A short weekly workflow
- Monday: re-run Prompt 1 after any site or plugin change.
- Wednesday: review one Prompt 4 brief and write the page yourself or with your team.
- Friday: send three outreach emails from the Prompt 5 list, by hand.
- Monthly: check Search Console's generative AI reports and Bing's AI Performance report for Copilot citations.

What good output looks like for each prompt
- Prompt 1: a table with one row per bot, a status and a one-line purpose, plus a separate list of URLs that refused the fetch.
- Prompt 2: a ranked fix list where each line quotes the guideline it relies on.
- Prompt 3: valid JSON-LD plus a list of missing facts; if the agent fills a gap by guessing, reject the draft.
- Prompt 4: one brief, not ten, with every fact marked for you to confirm.
- Prompt 5: twenty rows with a reason for each site; anything that sells links that pass ranking credit should already be gone.
Mistakes to avoid when you run these
- Giving the agent your CMS password "to save time"; keep it read-only.
- Letting it write ten borough pages in one go, which is how cloned pages happen.
- Pasting a draft schema block live without checking every value against the page.
- Treating the outreach list as permission to send automated emails.
- Re-running Prompt 1 only once; plugins and CDN rules change after updates.
The UK limit on ChatGPT business listings
Do not ask the agent to claim a ChatGPT listing for a London shop yet.
OpenAI's help centre says (Nov 2026) that Business Hub claims for local stores and restaurants are limited to existing U.S. listings for now.
It also says claiming does not guarantee more visibility, so the website and profile work above still carries most of the weight.
A London example: a Battersea dog groomer
- Prompt 1 finds a firewall rule blocking PerplexityBot and OAI-SearchBot.
- Prompt 2 flags "Best Dog Grooming Battersea" in the profile name, so the owner changes it to the real trading name.
- Prompt 3 drafts schema, and the owner adds the missing Saturday hours.
- Prompt 4 picks Clapham as the next area page, based on impressions.
- Prompt 5 finds a local pet charity event listing and two borough newsletters.
Every output is a draft the owner approves, and nothing goes live without a human.
How long the groundwork takes
Most owners can run all five prompts in a single afternoon.
The slow part is your own review: checking the profile fixes, confirming every schema value and choosing which outreach targets fit your business.
Budget one focused session to run the prompts, then one more each week to act on them.
If you find you are never getting to that weekly session, that is the clearest sign the work needs a dedicated team rather than another prompt.
Keep every output dated in the project folder, so you can compare this month's crawler check with last month's and spot changes made by plugin or hosting updates.
When to hand it to a pro
Hand over when the fixes touch the server, the outreach needs steady weekly time, or the reports stop making sense.
Google's hiring page says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking, so look for a team that shows its process and cites the official docs.
Goldie Agency is an SEO, GEO, AEO and link building agency, and by Julian Goldie's own published numbers it has run 1,000+ campaigns for 240+ clients.
It works with London businesses remotely, using exactly the kind of files your agent just produced.
If you would rather keep it in-house, the AI Profit Boardroom shows you how to run each prompt properly.

FAQ
Can the agent make the changes for me?
Keep it draft only. Let the agent audit and draft, and have a person approve and apply every change to your site, profile or outreach.
Which bot should I never block if I want ChatGPT search traffic?
OAI-SearchBot. OpenAI says sites opted out of it will not be shown in ChatGPT search answers.
Does the schema prompt help AI Overviews?
Google says no special schema is needed for AI Overviews or AI Mode, so use the markup for accuracy and clarity rather than as a shortcut.
Can I claim my London shop in ChatGPT Business Hub?
Not yet. OpenAI says local stores and restaurants can currently claim only an existing U.S. listing.
