AI Crawlability Checker

🤖 AI Crawlability Check

Check if your site allows major AI crawlers. Blocked crawlers mean your content will not be indexed by AI platforms.

📖 What can this tool do?

If AI crawlers can’t reach your pages, nothing else you do matters. This tool checks your robots.txt against 10 major AI crawlers. One misconfigured rule can silently undo months of optimization.

❓ FAQ: GEO Impact

What happens if I block AI crawlers?

Your content never enters AI’s retrieval index. It’s not deprioritized — it doesn’t exist from AI’s perspective.

Does allowing access guarantee citations?

No — crawlability is just the foundation. Your content still needs strong info density and semantic coherence.

Can I allow retrieval but block training?

Yes. OpenAI uses GPTBot for training and OAI-SearchBot for live search. Block the former, allow the latter.
