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.

Prompt intent and tags

Every tracked prompt is now labelled with what the person asking actually wants, and you can group prompts with your own tags.

  • Intents: Comparing, Ready to buy, Looking for options, Learning, and Finding a company — assigned automatically when a prompt is added.
  • Filter the Prompts tab by intent to see whether you are winning the questions that decide a purchase, not just the ones that build awareness.
  • Tags are free-form, so you can group prompts however your team thinks about them.
