New tool checks why websites disappear from AI answers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A website owner has developed a free tool, the AI Visibility Checker, to help site owners understand why their content might not be appearing in AI-generated answers from platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. The checker assesses three key criteria: reachability (server, robots.txt, and crawler access), understandability (HTML text, structured data, and metadata), and recognition (company presence on Wikidata and Wikipedia). The tool prioritizes checking the crawlers that directly contribute to AI answers, rather than those used solely for model training, as blocking the latter does not prevent citation. AI

IMPACT Helps website owners ensure their content is discoverable by AI models, impacting SEO and content visibility in AI-driven search.
