Can ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity see your website?

More buyers now ask AI assistants instead of Google. If AI crawlers are blocked or your pages render empty without JavaScript, you never get cited. Check yours in about 10 seconds.

AI crawler access

We read your robots.txt the way GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and OAI-SearchBot do, and show which ones you block.

Content without JavaScript

Most AI crawlers do not run JavaScript. We count how much of your page they can actually read.

Entity markup and llms.txt

Structured data and llms.txt help AI engines understand who you are and which pages matter.

How this AI search visibility checker works

Enter your homepage. We fetch your robots.txt and read it the way each AI crawler does, then load the page without running JavaScript, because most AI crawlers don't run it. You get a score, the crawlers you allow or block, how much text they can actually read, and a list of fixes in order.

This free check answers the first half of AI search visibility: can the assistants read you? The second half, do they mention you?, depends on whether your pages answer the questions people ask. Test that by asking ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude those questions yourself (see the FAQ below), and read our guide to ChatGPT SEO tools for the options that track mentions over time.

The fixes that matter most

Allow OAI-SearchBot, Claude's and Perplexity's crawlers in robots.txt (check with the robots.txt checker). Make sure your main content is in the HTML, not only drawn by JavaScript. Add Organization structured data that names your business, and publish a short llms.txt with the free llms.txt generator.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is AI search visibility?

How easily AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can find, read and cite your website when someone asks a question your business answers. It has two parts: whether their crawlers can reach and read your pages, and whether the assistants actually mention you.

What does this AI search visibility checker test?

The first part, on your homepage: which AI crawlers your robots.txt allows or blocks (including OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot), how much of the page is readable without JavaScript, structured data that names your business, and whether you publish an llms.txt file.

How do I check if ChatGPT mentions my business?

Ask it the questions your customers ask, such as "best sourdough bakery in Leeds", with search turned on, and note whether you appear and which pages it cites. Repeat in Perplexity and Claude. Do it monthly: answers change. If you never appear, fix crawler access first, then make sure your key pages answer those questions in plain text.

Should I block GPTBot?

GPTBot collects training data; OAI-SearchBot fetches pages for ChatGPT search answers. You can block training and still allow search, and many sites do. Blocking OAI-SearchBot means ChatGPT search cannot read or cite your pages.

Is AI visibility different from SEO?

Mostly it rewards the same things: crawlable pages, clear answers in plain HTML, structured data and a good reputation. The differences are separate crawlers to allow, and the fact that AI assistants quote passages, so pages that answer one question clearly do well.
