AI visibility
Whether AI answers like Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT cite your site, which AI crawlers visit it, and what stops them reading your pages.
The AI visibility card on a site's page answers two questions: do AI answers cite this site, and can AI crawlers read it? The same data is in the REST API (GET /v1/sites/{id}/ai-visibility) and the MCP tool get_ai_visibility.
Cited in AI answers
SEOFix looks up the AI answers that cite your domain: Google AI Overviews for every country SEOFix covers, and ChatGPT for sites in the United States. For each, you see how many answers cite the site, how many AI searches a month those questions get, the questions themselves with your position among the sources, and (on paid plans) the other sites cited in the same answers.
| Plan | How often |
|---|---|
| Starter, Growth | Every week, for verified sites |
| Free | Once, when the site's free audit runs (the top 3 questions per platform) |
The data comes from DataForSEO's index of AI answers. It covers the answers it has seen, not every possible prompt, so read it as a sample.
"Not cited in AI answers yet" means none of the answers it has seen cite the site. The usual reasons: AI crawlers are blocked (see below), the pages answer different questions than people ask, or the site is new.
AI crawlers
With Cloudflare connected (see Connect Cloudflare), SEOFix reads your zone's analytics every night and shows, for the last 28 days, which AI crawlers fetched your pages (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and others), the pages they fetch most, and how often they got an error. An AI crawler that gets errors on more than 5% of its requests is flagged: those pages can't be quoted.
The Cloudflare token needs Analytics Read. Tokens created before November 2026 lack it: in Cloudflare, open My Profile → API Tokens, edit the SEOFix token, add Zone → Analytics → Read and save. You don't need to reconnect anything in SEOFix: the next nightly sync picks it up and the visits appear the day after.
AI checks from your audit
The card also shows the latest audit's AI checks: AI crawlers that robots.txt blocks, a missing llms.txt, and pages that are slow for AI crawlers. Each one has a fix task in the report.
