AI Crawler Access Report49/100 AI Access Score Partially blocked ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity cannot read chatgpt.com. When a buyer asks them for a recommendation in your category, the answer is built from other websites. Your robots.txt tells them to stay out, so this is a setting someone can change. A critical finding caps the composite score at 49. 43 Live Answer Visibility 86 Search Index Foundation 50 Training Data Presence AI Access Score 49 is higher than 3 of the 84 B2B SaaS sites in our September 2026 benchmark (median 91). Full benchmark: check.citant.ai/benchmark The overall score weights Live Answer Visibility at 45%, Search Index Foundation at 30% and Training Data Presence at 25%, rounded to the nearest point. Critical findings can cap the score lower; any applied cap is stated next to it. Live Answer Visibility and Training Data Presence reflect crawler access plus on-page structure, with Training Data Presence also counting Common Crawl. Search Index Foundation reflects Googlebot and bingbot access plus indexability, sitemap and response health.

| CRITICAL | OAI-SearchBot blocked by firewall (Cloudflare) | Your robots.txt allows OAI-SearchBot, but the server refused its request. Your stated policy says yes; your firewall says no, and you probably did not choose this. The site blocks automated traffic broadly, not only AI crawlers. Our test sends this crawler's name from outside OpenAI's network; a firewall that verifies crawler identity can still admit the real crawler, so your server logs are the final word. Cloudflare manages AI crawlers per behavior category (Search, Agent, Training) under Security Settings, then Configure AI bot policies. As of September 15, 2026, new Cloudflare domains block Agent and Training crawlers on pages with ads by default, so this block may be a default nobody chose. | | CRITICAL | ChatGPT-User blocked by firewall (Cloudflare) | Your robots.txt allows ChatGPT-User, but the server refused its request. Same firewall pattern as the OAI-SearchBot finding above; one firewall change covers every crawler it blocks, and the same server-log caveat applies. | | CRITICAL | Claude-SearchBot blocked by firewall (Cloudflare) | Your robots.txt allows Claude-SearchBot, but the server refused its request. Same firewall pattern as the OAI-SearchBot finding above; one firewall change covers every crawler it blocks, and the same server-log caveat applies. | | CRITICAL | Claude-User blocked by firewall (Cloudflare) | Your robots.txt allows Claude-User, but the server refused its request.

Crawlers that trust the declaration hit a dead end, and the conventional locations serve no sitemap either, so your money pages get crawled last or never. | | WARNING | Only 97 words of extractable content on the homepage | AI systems have almost nothing to quote or cite from this page. | | WARNING | Heading hierarchy issues: 2 H1s | LLM retrieval splits pages into chunks along heading structure; broken hierarchy produces orphan chunks with no context. | | WARNING | No Organization schema on the homepage | Without a machine-readable identity, AI systems have to guess who you are instead of knowing. | | INFO | No llms.txt found | llms.txt is an emerging convention some AI crawlers read for site guidance. Adding one is a five minute quick win. | | INFO | Verify your Bing index manually | Copilot and ChatGPT search lean on Bing's index; if Bing has not indexed you, two of six AI platforms cannot cite you.

Prioritized fix orderCriticals first. Quick wins are flagged with time estimates so you can bank momentum early. 1. Allow AI crawlers through your firewall or CDN · est. 30 minAddresses: OAI-SearchBot blocked by firewall (Cloudflare) (CRITICAL) - Your robots.txt allows these bots but your server refuses their requests, which means a firewall or bot-protection layer is overriding your stated policy. Most site owners do not know this is happening.
- In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Security Settings, then Configure AI bot policies. Cloudflare manages AI crawlers in three behavior categories: Search (crawlers that index content to answer questions later), Agent (real-time fetches on a person's behalf, such as ChatGPT-User), and Training (crawlers that collect content to train or fine-tune models). Set the category that matches the blocked bot to 'Allow (do not block)'.
- Category map for the bots in this report: Search covers OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, DuckAssistBot, Googlebot and bingbot. Agent covers ChatGPT-User, Claude-User and Perplexity-User. Training covers GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, Amazonbot and Bytespider.
- While you are there, confirm the legacy 'Block AI bots' toggle is off. Cloudflare deprecated that toggle on September 15, 2026, and as of that date a Training block also applies to mixed-purpose crawlers such as Googlebot, Applebot, and bingbot. Akamai and Imperva have equivalent verified-bot allowlists.
- Verify with the per-bot command in this report; the response should change from 403/503 to 200.
2. Unblock AI crawlers in robots.txt · est. 15 minAddresses: PerplexityBot blocked by robots.txt policy (WARNING) - Add the recommended snippet below ABOVE any general User-agent: * block; specific user-agent groups override the general one.
- Deploy the updated robots.txt and confirm by opening https://yourdomain/robots.txt in your browser.
- Re-run this scan; blocked rows should flip to Allowed.

3. Fix your sitemap · est. 30 minAddresses: Sitemap declared in robots.txt returns HTTP 403 (WARNING) - Ensure /sitemap.xml returns 200 and lists your live URLs; remove entries that 404.
- Reference it from robots.txt with a Sitemap: line so crawlers find it without guessing.
Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml 4. Add extractable main content · est. half a dayAddresses: Only 97 words of extractable content on the homepage (WARNING) - The page carries under 150 words of extractable main content; AI systems have almost nothing to quote or cite.
- Write the page copy into the HTML itself rather than images or embedded widgets.
5. Repair the heading hierarchy · est. 1 to 2 hoursAddresses: Heading hierarchy issues: 2 H1s (WARNING) - Use exactly one H1 per page and do not skip levels; LLM retrieval splits pages into chunks along heading structure, and broken hierarchy produces orphan chunks with no context.
- Restructure headings in the page template rather than styling text to look like headings.
6. Add Organization schema with sameAs links · est. 30 minAddresses: No Organization schema on the homepage (WARNING) - Add the JSON-LD below to your homepage head, filling in your real details.
- The sameAs links are the entity-corroboration signal that connects your site to your LinkedIn and other profiles.
- Validate at validator.schema.org.

What this scan cannot seeThis report measures whether AI systems can READ your site. It cannot measure whether AI RECOMMENDS you: your Share of Model, which competitors get cited in your place, or whether your content answers the questions buyers actually ask AI. That requires prompt-testing against your named competitors across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Overviews. That is the AI Search Audit by Citant.ai: a fixed-scope engagement at $440 that maps your citation gaps, names the competitors winning your queries, and hands you a prioritized plan. Our crawler tests send each bot's user agent from our own servers, not from the AI companies' verified IP ranges. Some firewalls, including Cloudflare, verify crawlers by network identity rather than user agent. That means a site can challenge our test request while allowing the real, verified crawler. When that happens this scan over-reports blocking; it never under-reports it. The Googlebot result is the most exposed to this, because fake Googlebots are the most common spoof and are policed hardest.
