If AI engines can't read you, they don't cite you
Before recommending you, the models send bots to read your site: GPTBot for OpenAI, ClaudeBot for Anthropic, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended. AI crawlers shows you, live, who visits, which pages they read, how often, and where they hit an error.
Above all, it checks the essentials: whether your robots.txt, your llms.txt and your sitemap let these bots in. One blocked bot, one page returning a 404, and a whole part of your site doesn't exist for AI engines. We flag it before it costs you citations.
What you get
- A live log of the AI bots reading your site
- Crawled pages, frequency and errors (200, 404...)
- The status of robots.txt, llms.txt and your sitemap
- Which bots are allowed, which are blocked
- The errors costing you citations, to fix
- Verification of real bots (not impostors)

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI crawler?
It's a bot sent by an AI to read your site, like GPTBot (OpenAI) or ClaudeBot (Anthropic). They are what lets the models know about your brand and recommend it.
Why do robots.txt and llms.txt matter?
They are the files that allow or block AI bots. If you block GPTBot without knowing it, ChatGPT can't read your site, so it can hardly recommend you.
How do I know a real bot visited, not an impostor?
We check each visit against the providers' official IP address ranges, so we only count real AI bots.
Which plan includes it?
AI crawlers is available from the Pro plan.
