Edge delivery for AI botsEdge delivery serves a parallel, AI-only view of your existing pages to AI crawlers at the CDN — humans and Google/Bing still get the normal site. It’s where Publive AXP Edge is built to win: readable content, a token-light payload, faster responses and AI-only content fixes, all standalone from day one. Most tools here do none of this; a couple offer a limited, bundled or gated version.
Content readability for AI
Partly — detects unreadable client-rendered content and can serve approved fixes to bots, but only on approved URLs and not sold standalone.
Token optimisation at the edge
No stated capability — the edge serves approved content changes, not token-optimised payloads.
Response time (TTFB) for AI bots
Runs at the CDN for approved URLs, but bot TTFB isn’t a stated or tracked metric.
AI-only content fixes
In part — can serve approved optimisations to AI bots on approved URLs, but gated to Adobe customers and not sold standalone.
Positioning & fit
What it actually does
Semrush-backed insight engine inside Experience Cloud; edge delivery exists to push the engine’s approved recommendations.

GA since Oct 2025; Semrush-powered Brand Visibility expansion announced June 2026.

Content route
Recommendations deployed via CMS origin or edge
Standalone vs bundled
CDN- and CMS-agnostic but strongest inside Adobe Experience Cloud
Feature comparison
Monitoring
ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Overviews, Copilot, Perplexity (Gemini planned), Semrush prompt data
Auditing
Detects hidden CSR content, blocked bots, broken pages, missing structured data; URL Inspector shows per-page citation performance
Optimising
Recommends content, technical fixes and off-site plays (Wikipedia, Reddit, PR), ranked by projected traffic value
Content creation
Page-level elements only (FAQs, summaries, transcripts) grounded in existing pages; no content hub
Enterprise-ready
Adobe IMS auth, TLS and AES encryption, no PII stored, regional data residency

What the agency resells
Nothing. Access sits inside the client’s own Adobe contract

Annual contract
Resale margin
None. Agency bills services only
