AI Crawler Checker
You can now check whether AI engines are able to read your site at all, from a dedicated page in the dashboard.
- Sends a live request as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and seven other real AI crawlers, then shows exactly how your server replied — not what a config file claims.
- Catches blocks coming from a firewall or CDN, which never appear in your robots.txt.
- Also reports your robots.txt rules, whether your homepage is accidentally hidden from search, and whether you have an llms.txt file.
Query Fan-Out, inside your dashboard
You can now see the hidden sub-questions an AI engine searches before it answers, and track any of them as a real prompt in one click.
- AI engines rarely search the exact question someone types — they split it into several searches first. Those are the searches your content actually competes in.
- Each sub-query is labelled with its type and the reason an engine would run it.
- Export the full set to CSV, or add one straight to your tracked prompts.
Recommendations now name the site to pitch
Off-page recommendations now tell you which specific site to approach, what it cost you, and how to approach that kind of site.
- Instead of "sites cite your competitors", you get the domain, the number of answers where it named a rival and not you, and the share of its answers that skipped you.
- The approach is tailored to the type of site — claiming a review listing, pitching an editor, and joining a community discussion are different jobs.
- Every recommendation shows the numbers behind it, taken from your own scans.
See whether AI engines mention your brand
Lead Rescue checks ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini every day and tells you, in plain English, which questions name you and which name a competitor instead.
