Your website works for people. It might be blocking AI assistants.

Security settings and hosting defaults often stop assistants while people browse normally. Theyfetch tells you which assistant is blocked, why, and what to change. Fix it on your side, then check again.

What to do

Cloudflare AI Crawl Control is challenging Claude-User. Allow the “Agent” category for example.com, then check again.

Last checked 2 hours ago

Sample finding: Claude receives a challenge page from the host while a browser loads the page normally. The suggested fix names the setting to change.

See which pages AI assistants actually read.

Once tracking is installed, every verified request from an assistant is recorded against the page it read. Requests for live answers are counted separately from search and training bots.

Questions

Do I need a developer to set this up?

Access checks and tracked questions work as soon as you add your domain. Seeing which pages assistants read needs a plugin or a small integration on your website, and you may want a developer for that part. The installation guide covers each platform.

Does an AI visit mean my website appeared in an answer?

No. A visit means an AI assistant requested a page. It does not prove the page was used, linked or recommended. Tracked questions are separate: we test questions you choose and show the businesses named and the pages linked in each answer.

Are these the answers my customers see?

They are answers to questions we test, not a recording of your customers’ conversations. We use provider and search-data APIs rather than automated browsing of consumer apps, so results can differ from what someone sees in ChatGPT or Claude.

What does a subscription include?

Every plan includes access checks, page tracking and a monthly allowance of tested answers. Choose a plan before setting up your workspace. There is no free plan or trial. Cancel anytime in your account settings.

Do they fetch you?

Check access, see which pages assistants read, and track who gets named.
