Whether AI answer engines can find, read and quote your pages — and what to do when they cannot.
Search rankings are no longer the only way people find a page. AI Visibility measures whether the engines that answer rather than list can use your content.
Can they fetch it? Some AI crawlers are blocked by default by a robots.txt written years ago for search engines. The check reads yours and names each crawler it would refuse.
Can they read it? Many AI crawlers do not run JavaScript. A page whose content only exists after the browser executes a script is, to them, an empty page — regardless of how it looks to you.
Are they quoting it? We ask a set of questions your pages ought to answer and record whether your site is cited. That is the outcome measure, and it is the one that moves slowly.
In this order, because it is the order of effort:
robots.txt. One line each, and it is reversible.answer near the top.
Because it is measuring somebody else's index. A fix to robots.txt shows up in the fetch check immediately and in the citation check over weeks. Judge it on the trend, not on today's figure.
