AI Robots Checker
Find out if AI platforms can access and recommend your website.
What Is robots.txt?
Bot access control.
Every website contains a robots.txt file. It defines whether AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot are permitted to read its pages.
AI's first checkpoint.
AI platforms consult your robots.txt before indexing any page. If their crawlers are not permitted, your content will not be referenced in AI responses.
Often misconfigured.
Many CMS platforms and security plugins block AI crawlers by default, resulting in lost AI visibility with no visible warning.
# Search engines User-agent: Googlebot Allow: / # AI crawlers User-agent: GPTBot Disallow: / User-agent: ClaudeBot Disallow: / User-agent: PerplexityBot Disallow: / # ✗ These bots are blocked. # AI cannot read this site.
Why It Matters
No access, no recommendation.
AI platforms can only cite content they are able to read. Blocked crawlers mean the brand will not appear in AI responses regardless of content quality.
A growing discovery channel.
A growing share of product research now begins with AI assistants. Brands inaccessible to AI crawlers are excluded from this channel entirely.
Small fix, outsized return.
Correcting robots.txt typically takes minutes. A single update can restore access across all major AI platforms simultaneously.
