About Maveriko

Maveriko is a free website audit that scores any public page for SEO and for AI-search readiness, known as GEO. Bithindra Biswas builds it at Brand Vibe Consulting, which launched it in 2026.

Maveriko at a glance

Maveriko is one audit with two scores, and these are the facts people ask about most.

What we measure, and what we will not claim

The scope is deliberately narrow: whether search engines can read a page, and whether an answer engine could quote it.

Three different things get sold under one banner in this category, and Maveriko keeps them separate on purpose. SEO Health is whether search engines can crawl and understand a page. AI Readiness is whether that page is structured so an answer engine could retrieve and quote it, and whether the brand behind it is recognisable. AI visibility — whether ChatGPT or Perplexity actually cite you today — is a third thing that changes per model, per prompt and per week.

We measure the first two and we do not claim the third. Any tool that reads your HTML and returns a “ChatGPT visibility score” is inferring an outcome from a readiness signal. Google itself says there are no special requirements for its AI features beyond being indexed and eligible for a snippet, which is why our checks read as readiness, never as a promise.

Every check cites the published guidance it is based on, the full weighting is on the methodology page, and a check that cannot be evaluated returns “not measurable” rather than a failing grade. There is no traffic, keyword-volume or backlink data anywhere in the product: those need paid crawls we do not run, and inventing them would make the score meaningless.

The MaverikoBot user agent

MaverikoBot is the user agent Maveriko’s server sends when it fetches a page someone has asked it to audit.

• It identifies itself as MaverikoBot/1.0 (+https://maveriko.com/about).
• A single-page audit fetches that page, plus the site’s robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt.
• When a page builds its content with JavaScript, the audit renders it once in a headless browser, with the same user agent.
• It reads at most 2 MB of HTML on a plain fetch (4 MB when rendered) and gives up after a short timeout.
• It runs only when a person starts an audit or a crawl. Nothing is scheduled.
• It never fetches private addresses, non-standard ports or non-HTTP protocols.

How robots.txt applies

1. Site crawls follow it. A signed-in site crawl of up to 25 pages obeys the MaverikoBot group in your robots.txt (or the * group if there is none), including any Crawl-delay.
2. Single-page audits do not. A one-page audit is a fetch a person asked for, like opening the page in a browser. Google’s own user-triggered fetchers work the same way and generally ignore robots.txt rules.
3. To refuse both, block the MaverikoBot user agent at your server or firewall. A short 403 or 429 answer is reported to the person as a blocked audit and is never scored.

To stop site crawls only, add this to robots.txt:

User-agent: MaverikoBot
Disallow: /

How it is built

Maveriko is keyless by design. Entity lookups go to the public Wikipedia and Wikidata APIs, the page fetch is a plain HTTP request, and the browser tools under Toolbox run entirely on your device — nothing you paste into them is transmitted anywhere. That constraint keeps the free tier genuinely free rather than trial-shaped.
