AI visibility review
Is your website visible in AI?

Below the form, an animation shows the address going out to AI engines around the world and coming back as a report with a score of 64 out of 100.
Every review checks access for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended.
“One forgotten line in robots.txt can hide a business from every Perplexity answer.”
Most sites that AI ignores aren’t bad sites. They have an old crawler rule nobody remembers, or a pricing page that never states a price. Search Console won’t flag either one. An AI assistant will just name someone else.

Not cited/pricing lacks a direct answerExample data. AI answers change with who asks, where and when, so we sample them. No citation is guaranteed.

The score is out of 100. It weighs crawl access, how well AI understands the site, whether pages answer questions, and how often you’re cited.
- 2
A red flag names the file and the line that caused it. Here that’s line 14 of robots.txt.

We ask the AI engines what your customers ask, then write down who got named.

41 means the pricing page talks about pricing for 600 words and never says a number.
Advice · €19 extra, paid once
Know exactly what to change. In order.
The review shows where you stand. Advice is the list of jobs. Every issue we found, ranked by what it costs you, with the exact steps and text you can paste in. We don’t touch your site. You or your developer make the changes.
Answer the price question on /pricing
- Add one sentence near the top: “Plans start at €49 per month”
- Add FAQ schema for the 3 questions below it
Why monthly
A score from March can be wrong by May.
New crawlers turn up and AI tools change what they quote. Meanwhile your own site gets updated by people who have never heard of GPTBot. Ultimate checks again every month and rewrites your advice when something moves.
- 01
New crawlers turn up
A bot launches with a new name. Your robots.txt from two years ago blocks it, and nobody finds out.
- 02
The rules move
What AI tools expect from robots.txt, llms.txt and schema is still being settled. Last year’s advice ages fast.
- 03
Answers drift
ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews change which sources they quote. Your site can stay identical and still drop out.
- 04
Sites break themselves
One plugin update can add a noindex tag overnight. So can a redesign.
Coming soon
Maintenance plan. Once your score has held for a few months, you’ll be able to move to a lighter plan that only watches for breakage. Price to follow.

FAQ
Straight answers.
“Nobody can promise you a spot in ChatGPT’s answers. We can show you what’s in the way.”
Will this get me ranked in ChatGPT?
No one can promise that. Be careful with anyone who does. We show you what stops AI tools from reading and quoting you, so you can remove it. We measure citations. We don’t guarantee them.
Do you change anything on my website?
No. We only read your public pages, the same way a crawler does. Every plan is advice. You or your developer decide what changes.
What’s the difference between Advice and Ultimate?
Advice costs €19, once, on top of the €9 review. You get the steps for the issues we found that day. Ultimate costs €90 a month and repeats the review and the advice every month. It also goes deeper (250 pages, 20 tracked questions) and checks weekly. When AI search or your site changes, the advice changes with it.
If I take Ultimate, do I also need the €9 review?
No. Ultimate already includes the review and Advice. You’d be paying twice.
Why pay monthly once my score is good?
Because good scores slip. A plugin update adds a noindex tag. A new crawler shows up and your robots.txt blocks it. Ultimate notices. Once your score has held for a few months, you’ll be able to move to a lighter Maintenance plan.
How do you check mentions in AI answers?
We put a set of questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews and note whether your brand or URL comes up. Answers change by person and by day, so watch how it moves over a few months. Which engines and how many questions depends on your plan.
Can I cancel Ultimate?
Yes, any time. You keep access until the paid month ends.
When do I get the report?
Within 24 hours of payment. It comes by email, as a web page and a PDF.
How do you know which site to review?
You type the address into the box on this page before you pay, and it goes to checkout with your order. The €9 and €28 checkouts also ask for it on the payment page.
What if my site has more than 50 pages?
The €9 review scans up to 50 pages and Ultimate up to 250 a month. On a bigger site we start with the pages people are most likely to ask about: your home page, your main service and pricing pages, and the templates the rest are built on.
Is this automated?
Mostly. Software fetches your pages, reads your crawler rules and structured data, and puts the test questions to the AI tools. The findings come from what that scan sees on your site, so you won’t get a generic checklist.
