No. It shows whether AI search tools can read your site and whether the basics are in place. Whether they recommend you also depends on your content, reviews and reputation, which our AI SEO service works on.
Not for Google. Google says you don’t need to create new machine readable files, AI text files or markup to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. Good search basics matter most.
That’s your choice. They collect content for AI model training. OpenAI says blocking GPTBot means your content shouldn’t be used for training, while blocking OAI-SearchBot keeps you out of ChatGPT search answers. So we show training bots separately.
No. Google says Google-Extended does not affect your inclusion in Google Search and isn’t a ranking signal. It controls whether your content is used for Gemini training.
Some sites block automatic visits with a firewall, and sometimes the address has a typo. Our team can still check it by hand in a free audit.
