Know what AI actually sees on your website

We will not promise that, because nobody controls what a model chooses to cite. What we can tell you is whether the technical barriers in your control are removed: whether the crawlers behind those assistants can reach your pages at all, and whether what they find is structured well enough to quote. That is a precondition for being cited, not a guarantee of it.

Training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Google-Extended) collect content that may be used to train a model. Citation crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot) fetch or index pages so an assistant can answer with them and link back. Blocking the first is a legitimate editorial choice with no effect on whether you get cited. Blocking the second removes you from that assistant entirely. Most tools lump them together; we report them separately and only score the ones that affect citations.

The validation rules track public guidance from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Perplexity. The crawler registry is a single versioned table, so when a vendor ships or renames a bot it is a one-line change rather than an engine rewrite.

Not yet. There is no public API and no CI/CD integration today — scans run from the web app against any public HTTPS URL. Both are planned, and this answer will change when they ship.

No. You can scan any public website and get a full report without signing up — every check, every finding, and the evidence behind it. Findings that have a generated fix show that clearly, and AI Search Fixer ($29 lifetime) generates the implementation for you to review before anything is applied. Re-running the audit is what confirms a fix worked. A free account adds a project, so a re-scan can tell you what changed. Pro adds scheduled weekly or monthly re-scans, the full history, and an email when something that was passing starts failing.

Most scans complete in under 30 seconds. Each scan reads your homepage plus up to four more important pages — chosen from your sitemap and your homepage links — along with robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt. If your server is slow the scan reads fewer pages rather than timing out, and the report says exactly which pages it read and which it skipped.

We only store scan results, never full page HTML. Everything is encrypted in transit with TLS, and our managed database provider encrypts data at rest. Scans run without an account are deleted automatically after 90 days; scans in an account are kept until you delete it, which you can do yourself from Settings at any time.
