AI Visibility Checker
See what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude & Gemini actually see when they visit your site.
Check if 17 AI crawlers can access your website in 60 seconds. Find out what's blocking your content from AI search engines — and get specific fixes.
Every Major AI Platform, One Scan
Each AI engine uses different crawlers for different purposes. We check all of them and tell you exactly what's blocked.
OpenAI's crawler for training data, real-time browsing, and ChatGPT Search.
Perplexity's crawlers for its AI search index and user-triggered page fetches.
Anthropic's crawlers for training, Claude's search index, and user-triggered fetches.
Google's opt-out token for Gemini training and grounding. Does not affect AI Overviews, which use Googlebot's normal index.
The open web archive used as training data by most AI models.
Crawlers from Meta, Amazon, Mistral, ByteDance, Diffbot, and Apple AI.
More Than Just robots.txt
robots.txt Analysis
Per-crawler breakdown of every allow and disallow rule. See exactly which user agents are blocked and at which paths.
Visual Crawler Preview
Side-by-side screenshots showing what a human sees vs. what Googlebot sees. Catches invisible JavaScript-gated content immediately.
JavaScript Rendering Gap
Compares raw HTML to the rendered DOM. If your text exists only after JavaScript runs, AI crawlers likely can't read it.
Actionable Fixes
Every issue comes with a specific recommendation. Not just "fix your robots.txt" — the exact rule to add or remove.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an AI visibility checker actually check?
BotView checks whether the crawlers used by each AI platform are allowed to access your website via robots.txt. It also checks whether your content is actually readable — not hidden behind JavaScript — and shows you side-by-side screenshots of what crawlers see vs. what humans see.
Is this the same as checking if my site 'appears' in ChatGPT answers?
Not exactly — but it checks the prerequisite. For your site to appear in ChatGPT answers, ChatGPT's crawler must be able to access and read your content. BotView tells you if that access is blocked or broken. What ChatGPT then chooses to cite is up to its relevance algorithms.
How is BotView different from tools like Semrush AI Visibility or SeenBy?
Those tools check if your domain appears in AI-generated answers (citation tracking). BotView checks the technical layer underneath: can the crawler physically access your site, read your content, and what does it actually see? These are complementary — if you're not being cited, BotView tells you if the technical access is even in place.
Can I check multiple pages or just my homepage?
BotView scans up to 50 pages per scan on free and Pro plans (100 on Agency). It crawls your sitemap and internal links to give you a site-wide picture, not just the homepage.
What if some AI crawlers are blocked but others aren't?
That's common. You might allow Googlebot but block GPTBot, or allow ChatGPT but block ClaudeBot. BotView shows the status of all 17 crawlers individually so you can make informed decisions about which to allow.
Is there a difference between AI crawlers for training vs. real-time answers?
Yes. Some crawlers (GPTBot, CCBot) gather training data — what the AI 'knows'. Others (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot) feed live AI search indexes — blocking these removes you from that engine's answers. User-triggered fetchers like ChatGPT-User open pages on demand and often ignore robots.txt. You can allow one and block another; BotView labels each crawler by purpose.
