About AI visibility
What is AI visibility (GEO)?
AI visibility, or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), is how likely AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are to cite your business when someone asks about your category. It depends on whether AI crawlers can read your site, whether your content is structured and clearly answers questions, and whether your facts are easy to quote.
How do I get my site cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?
Let AI crawlers in (do not block them in robots.txt), add structured data and FAQ schema, answer real questions directly with question-style headings, keep your facts clear and quotable, and add an llms.txt file. This checker scores each of those signals and tells you what to fix.
Does blocking AI crawlers in robots.txt hurt me?
Yes, for citations. If you block GPTBot, PerplexityBot, or Google-Extended, those engines cannot read your pages, so they cannot cite you when buyers ask AI about your category. Unless you have a specific reason to block them, allowing them is how you stay visible as search shifts to AI.
