FAQ

Crawlers & robots.txt, answered

Why does blocking GPTBot matter?

If GPTBot, Google-Extended or PerplexityBot are disallowed, those assistants can't read your site — so they can't recommend or cite you. That's an AI-visibility decision, not just an SEO one.

Does it need access to my site?

No — we fetch your public URL and robots.txt the way any crawler would. No signup, no code on your site.

What does 'blocked' mean here?

Either your robots.txt disallows that crawler, or the page didn't return 200 for it (a firewall or Cloudflare challenge in the way). The check is homepage-scoped.

Is it free?

Yes. It runs on our own crawler — no third-party vendor and no cost.

Why it matters

Who can read you decides your reach

Search rankings

Block Googlebot and you fall out of Search — no crawl, no index, no ranking.

Ad review

AdsBot blocked means Google can't review your landing page, so the ad gets disapproved.

AI citations

Block GPTBot / Google-Extended / PerplexityBot and AI assistants can't quote or recommend you.
