Dogfooding
This site's own live score is public at /built-with — run against itself, same engine.
Semrush audited this site with JavaScript rendering disabled — the same constraint most AI crawlers operate under — and measured 100% crawlability.
A CrawlPod study scanned 50 homepages on August 10, 2026 (46 usable results): only 20 of 46 sites (43.5%) served /llms.txt, and every news site scanned (9/9) blocked at least one major AI crawler. Read the full study.
The problem, shown not told
Many AI crawlers don't run JavaScript. A page that looks complete in a browser can be almost empty to one of them — here's the same page from both sides.

<h1>AI Visibility Score: What It Means…</h1>
<p>An AI visibility score measures whether
answer engines can read, parse, and cite
your site — out of 100, across six
weighted categories…</p>
</main>
</body>
</html>What the scan checks
Most competitors don't publish how their score is calculated. The ai-visibility AI Readiness Engine weights six categories: crawlability (20%), structure (20%), entity signals (20%), citation readiness (15%), content (15%), and authority (10%) — 30 named checks in total.
Traditional SEO helps a page rank in a list of results; GEO (generative engine optimization) helps an AI engine read, understand, and cite a page inside a generated answer. They share a technical foundation — crawlability, clean HTML, structured data — but neither one guarantees the other.

Frequently asked questions
What is CrawlPod?
CrawlPod is a set of tools that check and fix how AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews — read and cite websites. It's built around the ai-visibility package, available for Node.js on npm and Python on PyPI, with a WordPress plugin live on WordPress.org and a Shopify app in development.
What's the difference between GEO and SEO?
SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of links. GEO (generative engine optimization) optimizes for being read, understood, and cited directly inside an AI-generated answer, where there's no list of blue links at all. The technical foundation overlaps — crawlability, structured data, clean HTML — but the target output is different.
Do I need to install anything to get a scan?
No. The free scanner above checks a live URL you give it — robots.txt rules, structured data, server-rendered content, and more — with no install and no signup required to see the result.
Are the npm and Python packages free?
Yes, both. ai-visibility is MIT-licensed and free to use on npm and PyPI, with source on GitHub for each.
Is the WordPress plugin really free?
The free tier is free permanently, no trial or credit card — crawler access control, llms.txt generation, and a 7-check visibility score. Paid Pro, Business, and Ultra tiers add the full 9-check audit, brand protection, and advanced tooling, each with a 14-day free trial.
Does CrawlPod guarantee my site will be cited by ChatGPT or other AI engines?
No tool can guarantee a citation — AI engines choose what to cite based on factors outside any single site's control. CrawlPod addresses the things that are within your control: whether AI crawlers can access your site, whether your content is structured so it can be parsed and quoted, and whether your pages carry the metadata that helps an engine understand what they're about.
