Free AI Search Optimization Checker

Enter a valid web address, like https://example.com.

This tool analyzes your site's own AI-citation signals, structured data, crawler access, answer-style content, trust signals. It does not measure whether ChatGPT or any AI tool currently mentions your brand. No tool, including this one, can promise you'll be quoted by an AI model.

Your Site Can Be AI Ready And Still Not Get Cited

This checker shows what's fixable on your own site. Whether AI tools are actually mentioning your brand today, and what it would take to change that, is a deeper question. Belman & Co. offers a full AI search audit that checks both.

What This Tool Does

What An AI Search Optimization Checker Actually Checks

AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews don't crawl and rank pages the way traditional search engines do. They pull from sources they can access, trust, and extract clear answers from. This tool reads a page the way an AI crawler would and reports on the signals that make a page easier to find, understand, and cite, or that quietly block it from being seen at all.

  • AI crawler access is checked first, because a page can have perfect content and still be invisible to AI tools if robots.txt is quietly blocking GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot.
  • An llms.txt file is an emerging standard some AI systems check for a clear, plain language summary of a site, similar in spirit to a sitemap but written for AI rather than search engines.
  • Structured data (schema) gives AI systems explicit, machine readable facts, like business type, location, FAQs, and reviews, instead of making them guess from prose.
  • Answer-style content, questions phrased as headings followed by direct, concise answers, is far easier for an AI system to extract and quote than a long narrative paragraph.
  • Trust and authorship signals, like author names, an About page, and visible contact information, help AI systems decide whether a source is credible enough to cite.
  • Specific proof, named case studies, real numbers, and direct testimonials, gives AI systems something concrete to reference instead of generic marketing language it's more likely to paraphrase away entirely.
Common Questions

Checker FAQs

What is an AI search optimization checker?+
A tool that reads a webpage's code and content the way an AI crawler would, then reports on the signals that affect whether AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity can access, understand, and cite the page, things like crawler permissions, structured data, and answer-style content.
Does a high score mean ChatGPT will mention my business?+
No. A high score means your page removes the common technical and structural barriers to being cited. Whether an AI tool actually mentions your brand also depends on factors this tool cannot see: your presence and reputation across other sites, review platforms, and directories, and how much demand exists for the specific topic.
Is this checker free?+
Yes. It's free to use, requires no signup or email address, and the results are yours to copy and keep.
What does it mean if an AI crawler is blocked?+
Most sites block AI crawlers by accident, often through a default setting in a theme, plugin, or hosting platform, not on purpose. If GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or PerplexityBot is disallowed in robots.txt, that AI tool generally cannot access the page's content at all, regardless of how well optimized the content itself is.
What's the difference between this and a regular SEO checker?+
A traditional SEO checker looks at signals built for search engine rankings, like title tags and backlinks. This tool focuses specifically on the signals that matter for AI systems: whether AI crawlers can access the page, whether content is structured in a way AI can extract and quote, and whether the page gives AI models clear, specific facts to cite.
Can this tool tell me if I'm currently mentioned by AI tools?+
No. Checking actual AI mentions requires running live queries against AI platforms and tracking the results over time, which this free tool does not do. This tool analyzes your site's own readiness, the part of AI visibility that's within your direct control.
