Guides

Plain answers to the questions people actually search about AI search. Written from the census data and from checking real sites, and updated when the crawlers change.

Start here

• How to get your website to show up in ChatGPT. The crawler that matters, the robots.txt lines that let it in, what the cited pages have in common, and how to tell it worked.
• Does ChatGPT see my website? Three checks, from a one-minute look at robots.txt to what your server logs prove.
• How to rank in AI search. How ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews find and cite pages, and the five things a site has to get right.
• Should you block GPTBot? What blocking it does and does not control, and the mistake that takes sites out of ChatGPT search by accident.

Tools that go with them

• AI visibility checker. Runs the robots.txt and readability checks on any site.
• llms.txt generator and validator.
• AI crawler census. The numbers the guides quote, with the raw JSON.
• The 20 AI crawlers, one page each. What each one does, what blocking it costs, and how many sites block it.
