Check in one click which AI crawlers your robots.txt lets in. The search crawlers of ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are the ones that count for showing up in their answers; others only collect training data. Blocks often happen by accident, on Shopify as anywhere else. Paste your URL to check.
A check shows a gap. Closing it is the off-page work we do for SEO agencies, under the agency's name. Send us one client domain: we run the citation test and email you what came back. No charge, and your client is never contacted.
Send us one client domain →Visits from AI engines can be a source of qualified traffic. ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity use their search crawlers, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, and PerplexityBot, to show sites in their answers. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Applebot-Extended only serve model training: blocking them does not take a site out of those answers. A block can be deliberate or accidental, and this check alone does not measure whether the site is cited.
If a crawler is blocked and you want the visibility, remove its Disallow rule, or add an explicit allow. For example:
User-agent: OAI-SearchBot Allow: / User-agent: Claude-SearchBot Allow: / User-agent: PerplexityBot Allow: /
Blocking GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or Applebot-Extended is a valid choice if you do not want AI training on your content, and it does not take you out of search answers. Make it a deliberate choice, not an accident.
