To make your link in bio AI readable, your page needs content that loads without JavaScript, structured data describing what each block actually is, a machine-readable summary file, and a clear statement of whether AI crawlers may read the page at all. Most bio pages are missing at least two of the four.
You already know your page looks right to a person: the header loads, the blocks are tappable, the design matches your brand. None of that guarantees an AI system reading the same page sees the same thing. A page can look complete in a browser and be nearly empty to a crawler that never runs your page’s JavaScript.
This is the checklist version of that problem: five checks, in order, from most foundational to most specific.
Key Takeaways
- Check 1: does your content exist without JavaScript. If your blocks only render after scripts run, many AI crawlers never see them.
- Check 2: does each block have matching structured data. A FAQ block needs FAQPage markup, a product block needs Product and Offer markup, an event needs Event markup.
- Check 3: does your page ship an llms.txt summary. A compact, plain-text description of the page at its own
/llms.txtaddress. - Check 4: have you set an explicit AI-crawler policy. Decide, per page, whether reputable AI crawlers are allowed to read it, rather than leaving it undefined.
- Check 5: does your about text double as a plain-language summary. Visible prose a person reads and an AI system can quote directly.
Check 1: Confirm Your Content Loads Without JavaScript
This is the check almost every creator skips, because it is invisible from a browser. Crawlers behind the major AI answer engines, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot, generally do not execute JavaScript. They read the raw HTML your server sends before any scripts run (dataimpulse.com, September 2026).
To check this yourself: right-click your published bio page, choose “View Page Source,” and look for your actual link titles and bio text in that raw HTML. If your content is genuinely there in the source, and not just in a rendered preview, it clears this check. If the source is mostly empty tags waiting for a script to fill them in, an AI crawler is likely seeing very little of your page.
Pages built with server-side rendering, where the content is baked into the HTML before it reaches the browser, clear this check by default. Pages that rely entirely on client-side rendering usually do not, unless the platform specifically handles it.
Check 2: Add Structured Data That Matches Your Blocks
Structured data (JSON-LD) turns a visual block into a fact a machine can use directly, instead of interpreting an image of a button or a paragraph of prose.
| Your block | The structured data it should generate |
|---|---|
| FAQ | FAQPage, with each question and answer as a distinct entity |
| Product | Product and Offer, with name, price and availability |
| Event | Event, with a date, location and description |
| Hours or booking | LocalBusiness, with hours and booking details |
If your bio page tool generates this automatically from the blocks you already build, this check is done the moment you publish. If it does not, an AI system asked “what does this creator sell and for how much” has to guess from a rendered layout it may not even see, per Check 1.
If you sell through the page, that Offer data is the first thing a buying assistant reads, which AI shopping agents covers in more detail.
Check 3: Ship an llms.txt Summary
llms.txt is a plain-text file at your page’s own /llms.txt address, giving an AI system a compact summary without requiring it to parse your full page. It is a community proposal, not an official standard, and the evidence that it directly drives citation is thin. It costs nothing to have if your platform generates it automatically, so there is little reason to skip it even while its actual impact stays unproven.
Check 4: Set an Explicit AI-Crawler Policy
Decide, deliberately, whether reputable AI crawlers may read this specific page. This should be a per-page choice, not a single account-wide setting, since a page you want indexed by AI systems and a page you would rather keep private are not always the same page.
Allowing is generally the sensible default for a page built to be found. If you disallow, that decision sends a clear, stated signal rather than leaving the question unanswered, which some crawlers may interpret permissively by default anyway.
More.You keeps this setting per page rather than per account, and its AI crawler controls spell out what each choice sends.
Check 5: Write an About Text That Works as a Summary
Your about text should be prose a person actually reads, written in plain language, that also functions as an accurate one-paragraph summary an AI system could quote directly if asked “who is this person and what do they do.” Avoid vague, marketing-style language here specifically, since a summary an AI system paraphrases badly reflects on you, not the tool that hosts your page.
A concrete test: read your about text out loud. If it answers “who are you, what do you do, what should someone do next” in two or three sentences, it clears this check. If it takes a paragraph of throat-clearing before it says anything specific, it does not.
Running the Full Checklist
- View your page source and confirm real content, not empty containers waiting on JavaScript.
- Confirm structured data exists for each block type you use, matching the table above.
- Confirm an llms.txt file exists at your page’s own address.
- Confirm you have made a deliberate choice about your AI-crawler policy, not left it unset.
- Read your about text aloud and confirm it answers who, what and what’s next in a few sentences.
Five checks, most of which a properly built AI-native bio page clears automatically. What’s left is usually just the about text, since that is the one layer that depends on what you actually write, not what the platform generates on your behalf.
Why This Compounds Over Time
None of these checks are one-time fixes that expire. As you add products, events or FAQ entries, the structured data should update with them automatically if your platform is built for it. A page that requires you to manually regenerate its AI-readable layers every time you add a block is a page that will quietly fall behind within a few weeks.
Answer engine optimization covers the broader set of factors beyond this checklist, and structured data for creator pages goes deeper into exactly what each schema type should contain.
Your bio link is read by people and by AI, and most pages only pass one of those five checks by accident. Create your More.You page and every block you build ships structured data, llms.txt and an agent manifest without a separate checklist to run.
FAQ
How do I check if my current bio page is AI readable?
Right-click the published page, choose “View Page Source,” and confirm your actual link titles and bio text appear in the raw HTML, not just in what renders in the browser. That single check catches the most common failure point.
Do I need to write structured data myself?
Not if your bio page platform generates it automatically from the blocks you build. Writing JSON-LD by hand for every product, event and FAQ entry is realistic for a developer, not for most creators managing their own page.
Is an AI-crawler policy the same as blocking search engines?
No. An AI-crawler policy specifically covers AI systems like GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot. It is a separate, and typically per-page, setting from whatever controls whether traditional search engines like Google can index your page.
Will making my page AI readable change how it looks to visitors?
No. Structured data, llms.txt and an agent manifest are additional files and markup that sit alongside your page’s visual design. A person browsing your page sees no difference at all.
How often should I recheck this list?
Whenever you add a new type of block you have not used before, like your first event or your first product. If your platform generates the structured data automatically, most of the checklist stays current without any extra work on your part.
