Can AI search engines actually see your site?

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI and Apple can only recommend pages they can reach and read. Paste your domain for a free A-F check: which AI crawlers you allow in robots.txt, whether your content is in the HTML they read, and exactly what to fix. No login.

Reads public DNS and HTML only, never your site's private data. About three seconds.

What it checks

Access

Which AI engines you allow

For each of the crawlers that decide if you appear in AI answers (ChatGPT's OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, Applebot), whether your robots.txt lets them in.

Readability

Is your content in the HTML

Many crawlers do not run JavaScript. If your content only appears after JS loads, they may see an almost empty page. We check the raw HTML they receive.

Extractability

Can they parse it

Title, description, headings and structured data make your pages easy for AI to read and cite. We flag what is missing.

Common questions

Does blocking GPTBot hurt my AI search visibility?

No. GPTBot is for model training, not for deciding whether you show up in ChatGPT's search answers (that is OAI-SearchBot). Blocking training crawlers is a separate, often deliberate choice. We only count the search crawlers against your grade.

Can you prove a bot actually crawled me?

No, and we do not claim to. robots.txt is your site's stated policy. We report what you allow and whether your content is readable. Some crawlers (and stealth scrapers) ignore robots.txt; we never assert real bot behavior.

Is this the same as the AI brand-monitoring tools?

No. Paid tools track whether AI mentions your brand. This is the free technical prerequisite: can AI even reach and read your site in the first place. That has to be true before any of that works.
