AI search visibility checker
Check whether supported AI crawlers can access your site, then review page structure signals and prioritized SEO fixes.
This free AI search visibility checker audits supported AI crawler rules in robots.txt, llms.txt presence, and selected page structure signals such as headings and semantic elements. It reports technical findings and fixes; it does not measure AI rankings or guarantee citations.
Access checks show technical conditions. They cannot predict rankings, indexing, or citations.
Preview only—not a live scan result or score.
Crawler rules have different purposes.
Different crawlers serve different purposes. These examples explain what their access rules mean; SlapMyWeb reports crawler and page diagnostics, not engine rankings or citation likelihood.
What we check on every scan
AI bot access
The scan reads robots.txt rules for supported user agents. A crawler being allowed does not guarantee that an engine will index or cite a page.
- robots.txt access for 8 major AI user agents
- robots.txt rules for supported AI crawlers
- Crawl access versus model-training controls
- `llms.txt` presence and basic format check
Page content structure
Clear headings and semantic markup help people and software understand page structure. SlapMyWeb reports these observable signals without predicting citation outcomes.
- Page text, headings and semantic structure signals
- Lists, tables and definition element presence
- No assumed ideal word count or citation probability
Structured data diagnostics
The scan checks selected structured-data and schema signals. Google says no special schema is required for AI features, and markup does not guarantee inclusion.
- FAQPage and HowTo presence signals
- General schema validation in the SEO audit
- Author and freshness metadata checks
Trust & freshness
The audit records selected freshness and content signals. These are not a measure of trustworthiness or likelihood of being cited by an AI system.
- Named author with bio + credentials
- Outbound citations to .gov/.edu/journals
- Freshness stamps (datePublished + dateModified)
- Wikipedia / Wikidata entity links

AI search visibility, explained.
What is AI search visibility?+
AI search visibility describes whether a site appears in answers from AI-powered search and assistant products. A crawler access audit can verify selected technical conditions, but it cannot measure or guarantee indexing, selection, or citation across those products.
How is this different from a regular SEO audit?+
This scan adds checks for supported AI crawler rules, fetched page structure, selected schema signals, and freshness metadata. These are technical diagnostics; they do not measure rankings or citations in AI-generated answers.
Why might ChatGPT or Perplexity not cite my site?+
A robots.txt rule can prevent a supported crawler from fetching a page, and a crawler that cannot render a site may miss client-side content. These checks cannot identify every CDN policy or establish why an answer system chose not to cite a page.
How does SlapMyWeb’s AI visibility checker work?+
You paste a URL — no signup required — and we run 135+ checks across 19 registered scan agents. The AI Search agent checks crawler rules and selected page signals. The report does not provide per-engine scores or live citation monitoring.
Is the checker really free?+
The website scan is free with no signup. Paid plans add plan-specific scan limits and agency features. Agency users can run prompt-based brand mention tests; these are not citation tracking or ongoing search visibility reports.
What’s the difference between AEO and AI search visibility?+
AEO is an informal term for work intended to make information accessible and understandable to answer systems. SlapMyWeb checks selected crawler and page signals; it does not measure whether AI systems find or cite a site.
Does this tool measure GEO or AI citations?+
No. GEO (generative engine optimization) is a broad industry term for improving how content can be discovered and understood by generative search systems. This checker reports selected technical and page-structure signals; it does not measure AI rankings, answer mentions, or citations.
