Does the checker test what ChatGPT says about my company?
The scan checks whether models can read the site: whether bots get in, whether content and structured data reach them without JavaScript, and whether there is anything to cite. That is the condition without which a model will not name the brand. Whether it names the brand, and how often next to competitors, is measured by the AI brand visibility audit, in which we ask the models a set of questions from your category many times.
How is a model's search bot different from a training bot?
A search bot (OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot) reads a site so that the model can cite it and link to it in an answer. A training bot (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot) collects text to train the next versions of the model. Blocking training is a company decision and the checker does not count it as an error. Blocking a model's search bot cuts the site off from citations in that model.
Do I need an llms.txt file?
It is not an official standard and Google does not read it. Coding assistants and some agents use it, and it is cheap to prepare, so the checker counts it as a small part of the score. Far more weight sits on whether bots can enter the site and whether the content is visible without JavaScript.
Why does content without JavaScript matter so much?
The bots of model search engines usually fetch only the HTML and do not run scripts. If a product description, a price or category content appears only after JavaScript loads, the bot sees an empty page. The checker compares the text from the HTML alone with what the browser shows after the scripts run.
Does the checker change anything on my site?
No. It reads only public pages and files, the way a search engine bot does: the homepage, up to three subpages, robots.txt, llms.txt and the sitemap. It does not log in, submit forms or collect visitor data.
Why an email, and what happens to it?
The email unlocks the repair instructions for each blocker and the PDF report. We use it only to contact you about the scan result, in line with the privacy policy. The score, the table of bots and the list of blockers are visible without it.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. The scan, the result and the PDF report are free. Only the fix is paid, if you decide to hire us for it, and its price is shown next to the services below the result.
