SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Brands can rank first in classic search yet never be quoted by ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or Copilot, and teams have no way to see why. This Skill measures that gap by building a citation baseline, checking AI crawler access, and reviewing whether pages are actually citable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Citation Baseline: Runs 10-15 buyer-intent prompts (category, comparison, alternative, problem) and reports mention rate, cited-with-link rate, and share of voice against named competitors.
  • Crawler Access Check: Audits robots.txt rules for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, and Bingbot, plus JavaScript-rendered content visibility and sitemap reachability.
  • Citability Review: Scores three priority pages for self-contained passages, direct answers, question-shaped headings, specifics, and valid structured data, with a before-and-after rewrite example.
  • Use Case: A startup asks why ChatGPT never recommends their expense tool. The audit reveals OAI-SearchBot is blocked in robots.txt and that review sites, not their own domain, drive all competitor citations.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run an AI search visibility audit on your domain, providing your product category and two or three competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions about ai-search-visibility-audit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if ChatGPT can cite my website?▼

Fetch your robots.txt and verify that OAI-SearchBot is not blocked, since it governs ChatGPT Search citations. Also confirm your main content appears in raw HTML without JavaScript, as most AI crawlers do not execute scripts.

What is the difference between GEO, AEO, and traditional SEO audits?▼

Traditional SEO tracks keyword rankings, while GEO and AEO audits measure whether answer engines retrieve and cite your pages in synthesized answers. This audit samples buyer-intent prompts and reports mention rate, cited-with-link rate, and share of voice.

Does blocking GPTBot remove my site from ChatGPT Search?▼

No. GPTBot governs model training, while OAI-SearchBot governs citations in ChatGPT Search. Blocking GPTBot alone does not remove you from search results, and blocking OAI-SearchBot does not opt you out of training.

Does Google-Extended control Google AI Overviews?▼

No. AI Overviews are built on the normal Googlebot index, so blocking Google-Extended will not remove a site from AI Overviews, and allowing it will not add a site to them.

Can this audit check pages behind a login or paywall?▼

No. The audit only reads publicly accessible URLs and robots.txt, and it respects authentication, paywalls, and rate limits. If a page requires a login, the audit covers public pages only and notes the limitation.

Why do AI engines cite third-party sites instead of my domain?▼

In most categories, review sites, forum threads, and roundup articles dominate citations. The audit names the exact third-party pages cited and flags where your brand is absent or misdescribed, which is often the highest-leverage fix.
