We read what crawlers read
One request for robots.txt and one for llms.txt, read with the same rules the crawlers follow.
Can AI find and recommend your business?
Type your trade and city: we ask Gemini with Google Search who it recommends, which sources it read, and whether your business appears. Free, no sign-up.
What the AI answered
Unlike asking Gemini yourself: we ask Gemini in 2 ways and an OpenAI model too (the answer changes every time), open the pages they relied on and tell you whether they name you or your competitors.
Businesses it recommended
Sources it read to decide
We open the top 3 to see who they name. That is where to be listed, with a complete profile and real reviews.
What usually changes the result
- A complete profile on those sources, with the same name, address and phone as on Google Maps.
- Ask real customers for reviews on those same sources. Never paid or made-up reviews.
- A website that says in plain text what you do, for whom and where.
Want us to review it for you, free?
It is a mini audit: your 0-100 AI visibility score against the business AI recommends most, what Gemini and an OpenAI model answer, a check of your website (which AI crawlers it blocks, title, phone, business schema), the pages where your competitors appear and you do not, and ready-to-paste text and code. It reaches your inbox in about an hour.
Can AI read your website?
Free technical check: whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and 17 other crawlers can get into your site and how much text they can read.
Free, no sign-up. We fetch three public files once each (robots.txt, llms.txt and your home page). No domain handy? .
Built your app with Lovable, Bolt, Base44 or v0? The check also shows how much of your home page AI can read. Why AI-built apps can look empty to ChatGPT.

The other 68 points: full report for yoursite.com
We audit up to 10 pages for llms.txt, the sitemap, noindex and snippet limits, text that loads without JavaScript, structured data, titles, canonicals and language tags. You get a 0-100 score with every weight shown and fixes ordered by points at stake, on a page you can share or save as PDF.
From domain to fix list in three steps
You see every verdict
Each of the 20 AI crawlers gets a lamp: lit if it can read your homepage, dark if a rule blocks it, with the exact line that decides it.
You fix what costs points
The full report audits up to 10 pages and orders every fix by the points at stake, so the first change you make is the one that matters most.
What the free review looks like
Example for a dental clinic in Monterrey (fictional business), built on real data from the Atalaya Index: where AI looks, how the business shows up today, and ready-to-use profile text.
Doctoralia: incomplete profile
Missing hours, 2 of 5 treatments and the neighbourhood. Complete it with the same name, address and phone as on Google Maps.
El Doctor: no profile
Create it and ask real patients for reviews with a direct link. Never paid reviews.
Profile description
"Dental clinic in Del Valle, San Pedro Garza García. Cleanings, fillings, orthodontics and root canals. Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 7 pm. Appointments and same-day emergencies."
How the score adds up
Every point comes from something you can check yourself. The free check covers the first three rows, 32 points. Training crawlers are left out on purpose: letting models train on your pages is a policy choice, and the score should not push you either way.
A score is a checklist. It does not predict rankings or promise that any AI product will cite you.
| What we check | Points |
|---|---|
| AI search crawlers allowed in robots.txt | 20 |
| Assistants allowed to fetch a page for a user | 8 |
| robots.txt reachable and well formed | 4 |
| Text present in the HTML the server sends | 14 |
| No noindex, nosnippet or tiny max-snippet | 12 |
| Structured data | 12 |
| Title, description, canonical, language, Open Graph, H1 | 10 |
| llms.txt present and in llmstxt.org format | 8 |
| Sitemap found and declared in robots.txt | 6 |
| HTTP status, HTTPS and response time | 6 |
What we found on 751 sites in Mexico, the US and Canada
We ran this check on the most-linked domains in each country. Many sites that opt out of AI training also shut out AI search crawlers, which takes them out of AI answers. Here is how to avoid it.
Samples: top 300 .mx and top 300 .ca domains, and for the US a proxy of the top 200 .com, 50 .gov and 50 .edu, from the Majestic Million (CC BY 3.0) of 2026-10-20. 751 of 900 gave a usable answer. Only robots.txt and llms.txt were read, so blocks made by a CDN or firewall are not counted.

Questions
How do I get ChatGPT or Gemini to recommend my business?
For local businesses, AI builds its recommendations from directories, booking platforms, guides and local media. What works: a complete profile with real reviews on those sources, a website that says in plain text what you do and where, and the same details everywhere. More
How do I know if my business shows up in ChatGPT or Gemini?
Ask the question a customer would ask, with your trade and city, in an assistant with web search. Our free tool does it with Gemini and Google Search and shows the sources it read. More
Is there a free tool to check if ChatGPT can read my website?
Yes, the check on this page: type your domain and see in seconds whether the crawlers of ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and 16 more can read your site, with the robots.txt line that decides each one. Free, no sign-up. More
Does blocking AI training crawlers remove my site from AI search?
No. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Apple use separate crawlers for training and for search. You can block GPTBot, ClaudeBot or Google-Extended and still allow OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot and Googlebot. Here is a robots.txt you can copy that blocks training and keeps search.
Does llms.txt help me show up in AI search?
Nobody has shown that it does. llms.txt is a community proposal, and no AI vendor has confirmed using it for ranking or citations. It is worth 8 of 100 points in our score and we list it as a low-severity fix.
Why can a crawler that fetches pages for a user show as blocked?
Some vendors say their user-initiated fetchers (ChatGPT-User, Perplexity-User and others) may ignore robots.txt. We report what your file says and add the vendor's note next to that crawler.
What can this check not see?
Blocks made by a CDN, firewall or bot-protection service, which happen before robots.txt is read. If AI crawlers are allowed in robots.txt but still cannot reach you, look at those settings.
Does the report run JavaScript?
No, on purpose. Most AI crawlers read the HTML your server sends, so that is what we measure. A page that needs JavaScript to show its text loses points for it.
How polite is the crawler?
It identifies itself as AtalayaBot, reads robots.txt first, skips anything it disallows, and requests one page at a time from each site.
Who runs Atalaya AI, and is AI involved?
Atalaya AI is a small software brand operated from Mexico. We use AI to help write code and drafts, and a person owns the project and approves what goes public. Vigía, the guide in the corner, is a scripted helper: it does not send anything you type anywhere. We are not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon, ByteDance, DuckDuckGo or Common Crawl.
