Can AI crawlers read your site?
Patients ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI who to book with. If those crawlers cannot read your public robots.txt, you do not appear in those answers. This check takes a few seconds and does not ask for email.
Why crawler access matters
AI assistants answer patient questions by reading websites they can access. A single line in your robots.txt — often added by your host or CDN without telling you — can make a healthcare company invisible to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI at once. This scan reads your live site the way AI crawlers do.
Checker questions.
What does the AI visibility checker test?
It reads your public robots.txt the way common AI crawlers do and reports whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended are allowed.
Why does AI crawler access matter for my practice?
Patients now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI who to book with. If those crawlers cannot access your site, you do not appear in those answers.
Is this checker really free?
Yes. No email is required. It is a public robots.txt check, not a full website audit.
My site scored well. Do I still need the full audit?
Crawler access is one signal. The free website audit still reviews speed, mobile conversion, accessibility, structured data, and competitors.
Will this work on any website builder?
If your site publishes a public robots.txt, the check can read it. Hosts and CDNs sometimes add blocks without telling you.
