Check AI Crawler Access to Your Site
Verify whether AI search crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot can access and index your content.
Monitor AI Indexing Status
Regularly check that AI search crawlers continue to have access to your site and detect any indexing disruptions.
Quick answer: Use the GEO tool through ToolRouter to monitor ai indexing status directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolAI crawler access can break silently. A CDN update adds a bot-blocking rule. A security plugin starts rejecting unknown user agents. A robots.txt change accidentally blocks GPTBot. Without monitoring, you discover the problem weeks later when AI search traffic drops.
The check_ai_crawlers skill provides the data needed for ongoing monitoring. Run it periodically against your key pages to verify that all major AI crawlers maintain access. Any change in status triggers investigation before it impacts your AI search visibility.
This is especially important for organizations that depend on AI search traffic. As the channel grows, maintaining consistent crawler access becomes as critical as maintaining Google crawl access. Regular monitoring catches disruptions early, before they become traffic problems.

Claude helps you maintain continuous AI crawler access by running systematic checks and comparing current results against your historical baseline. When it detects a status change, it investigates the likely cause and recommends the specific fix before the loss of access impacts your AI search traffic.
How to monitor ai indexing status
Once connected (see setup above), use the GEO tool — the same steps work with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, OpenClaw, and any MCP client:
- Ask Claude: "Check AI crawler access for my site using the geo tool"
- Claude verifies access for all major AI crawlers
- Compare results against your previous check
- Investigate any changes in crawler access status
Example prompt
Try this with the GEO tool
Check if all AI crawlers still have access to https://mysite.com. Last time GPTBot was allowed -- verify nothing has changed.
Tips
- Schedule regular checks after any infrastructure or CDN changes
- Keep a log of crawler access status over time
- Set up alerts for any status changes on critical pages
