AI Visibility Checker
See how your site looks to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Analyze your GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) readiness instantly.
GEO Insight: The Scraper Paradox
Did you know that 90% of AI-driven citations come from "headless" bots that ignore your tracking scripts? If you only rely on traditional analytics, you are invisible to the bots that decide your brand's authority. Our Visibility Checker detects these silent crawlers by forcing them to reveal their identity.
How this AI Visibility Test Works
Unlike traditional SEO tools that check for keywords, our AI Visibility Checker simulates how Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini actually "read" your website.
- Bot Simulation: We send a request using the exact User-Agents (e.g.,
GPTBot/1.0,Google-Extended) to see if your server blocks them. - Content Density Analysis: AI models ignore boilerplate code. We calculate the ratio of "meaningful text" vs "HTML noise" to see if your content is digestible.
- Vector Readiness: We check if your content is structured in a way that makes it easy to be "vectorized" (turned into numbers) for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems.
Why Early Alignment Matters for GEO
The "Invisible Web" Problem
If you block GPTBot in your robots.txt, you are effectively opting out of the future of search. ChatGPT Search and similar engines will simply never see your content, meaning 0% traffic from these new sources.
Format > Keywords
AI doesn't just match keywords; it looks for answers. If your content is buried in complex JavaScript or has low text density, the AI "Context Window" gets filled with junk instead of your value proposition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simply enter your URL above. We verify if your `robots.txt` allows `GPTBot` and if there are any server-side blocks preventing OpenAI's crawler from accessing your content.
Aim for above 15%. If your score is under 10%, it means your page is mostly code (scripts, styles) with very little actual text content, which makes it hard for AI models to extract facts.
The basic check analyzes technical accessibility. To see actual citations, sign up for ViaMetric's pro dashboard where we track real-time mentions of your brand across Perplexity streams.
Generally, yes. While some worry about content scraping, blocking them means you cannot be cited as a source in AI answers. For most businesses, the visibility benefit outweighs the data training risk.
