Can AI assistants see your shop?
Check how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google’s AI read your online shop: who is blocked, what they can’t read, and exactly how to fix it.
- 18 AI crawlers from 11 companies, list updated 2026-10-21
- robots.txt read to the RFC 9309 standard
- Plain rules decide the result, not AI
What we check
The four things that decide whether an AI assistant can see your shop, checked live against your own pages.
robots.txt rules
Which AI crawlers your robots.txt lets in, read exactly as the crawlers must (RFC 9309), crawler by crawler.
Firewall and CDN
Whether your server, Cloudflare or a security plugin turns AI crawlers away even when robots.txt allows them.
Readable pages
Whether your products are in the raw HTML. Most AI crawlers don’t run JavaScript, so script-only pages look empty.
Product data
Name, price, currency, stock, brand and image in schema.org markup, so AI shopping answers don’t have to guess.
How it works
One address in, a clear answer out. You see every step as it happens.
Enter your address
Your home page or any product page. Nothing to install, no account.
We read it like the crawlers do
robots.txt, your server’s response to each AI crawler, the raw page and its product data.

Visible, partly visible or not visible, with the exact lines to change and where to change them on your platform.
Why it matters now
More shoppers start by asking an AI assistant what to buy, and Adobe reports that visitors arriving from AI assistants now convert better than other traffic to US retail sites. Meanwhile defaults you never chose, like Cloudflare’s AI-crawler block on new sites since July 2025, can quietly shut those assistants out.

New to AI search?
A free course in six short lessons: how AI assistants find shops, the difference between AI training and AI search, and the five checks that decide whether yours is seen.
Questions
Is the check really free?
Yes. The check, the answer and the exact fix are free, with no sign-up. We charge only for things that run without you: weekly monitoring, and writing product data for you.
Will blocking AI training hurt me?
No. Blocking training crawlers such as GPTBot or CCBot is your choice and doesn't hide you from AI search. We only flag blocks on the agents that find and open pages for answers.
Do you guarantee AI will recommend my shop?
No one can. Being reachable and readable is the first condition for being recommended; it isn't a promise. We tell you exactly what we can and can't know.
What do you store?
The shop's domain and the result. Never the content of your pages. Your IP address is stored only as a one-way hash, to limit scans to 10 an hour.
Why don't you check llms.txt?
Because the evidence says AI crawlers barely read it. We only check what decides visibility today: robots.txt, your server's response, the raw HTML and product data.
