AI Search Visibility Checker
AI assistants can only recommend a site they are allowed to read. Enter your address and this checker reads your robots.txt the way each crawler would, for OpenAI search and training, Perplexity, Anthropic, Google, Bing and Common Crawl, and tells you which ones you are blocking. It also fetches your page with the GPTBot user agent to catch firewalls that refuse AI bots, checks for noindex, measures how much text is in the HTML before any JavaScript runs, and looks for structured data, a sitemap and an llms.txt file. A crawler allowed in robots.txt can still be blocked by IP-based rules we cannot see from outside, so treat a pass as necessary, not sufficient.
How to use AI Search Visibility Checker
- Paste your home page or any page you want AI assistants to cite.
- Press Check visibility and read the crawler list: blocked crawlers cannot read the page at all.
- Fix the red items first (blocked search crawlers, noindex, empty HTML), then the amber ones.
Frequently asked questions
Should I block GPTBot?
It is a choice. GPTBot is OpenAI’s training crawler; OAI-SearchBot is the one ChatGPT search uses. Many sites block training but allow search crawlers so they can still be cited.
Does llms.txt help?
It is optional. Some AI tools read it, but Google has said it does not use it, so it is a small extra, not a requirement.
Why does text without JavaScript matter?
Many crawlers read the HTML your server sends and do not run scripts. If your words only appear after JavaScript runs, those crawlers see an almost empty page.
