A blanket bot block erases you from ChatGPT and Perplexity citations. Leaving the door wide open lets scrapers drain your server. AI Access verifies every AI crawler before deciding what it sees — and tells you whether it's training on you or citing you right now.
Every request claiming to be GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, or another known AI crawler is checked against that provider's published IP ranges and reverse-DNS — not just a user-agent string, which is trivial to fake.
See exactly which AI systems hit your site, which pages they pulled, and how often — verified crawlers, unverified traffic, and blocked attempts, broken out separately instead of lumped into one bot number.
Set policy per crawler instead of an all-or-nothing robots.txt rule. Let citation-driving engines through, slow down aggressive scrapers, and get an alert the moment a request spoofs a known crawler's identity.
Not every AI crawler is doing the same job. The distinction between training crawlers and search crawlers is the most consequential signal in AEO — AI Access tells you which one just hit a page, so you know how to respond to it.
Stock signal
Ingesting your content into future model weights. This is the crawl that determines what the next generation of models will know about your brand a year from now.
Flow signal
Retrieving your content for real-time answers being served to users right now. This is the crawl connected to live citations and current referral traffic.
AI Assistant crawlers (AmazonBot/Alexa, AppleBot-Extended) form a third category — indexing your content for voice responses and personal AI agents acting on behalf of high-intent users.
AI citation recency is a measurable signal. Track how often each bot returns to a page, and see exactly when to push a content update to trigger a re-crawl.
If a model hasn't revisited a page in 14 days, your brand is going stale in AI answers. Revisit tracking shows the exact recency of each AI system's knowledge of your content — per page, per bot, per day. No other tool surfaces this as a primary signal.
One line of HTML, works on every platform that renders HTML. No plugin, no server access.
After signup you'll get a unique Site ID and a ready-to-paste HTML snippet, shown at the top of your dashboard.

No plugin, no JavaScript, no server access needed. Works instantly on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Ghost, Framer, Carrd, Weebly, and Bubble.
Log in to see every AI crawler visit in real time — named, categorized, geo-tagged, and revisit-flagged. Most customers see their first detection within 48 hours.
Adversarial bots sometimes embed instructions in User-Agent strings or request parameters, targeting analytics endpoints directly. The pixel that powers AI Access is built to reject that before anything is ever logged. This protects the tracking endpoint itself — it's separate from AEOfix's own site-wide security infrastructure.
Regex checks cover role manipulation, system-prompt extraction, jailbreak strings, SQL injection, and encoded payload bypasses on every request.
Flagged requests still receive the 1×1 pixel response — the attacking bot detects nothing — but nothing is written to your data. Your dashboard stays clean.
200 requests per hour per IP, so a bad actor can't flood your data with noise from a single source.
Country and city come from native edge infrastructure headers — no external geo API, no added latency, no added cost at scale.
Cloudflare blocks bots. Analytics tools filter them out. SEO tools track keywords. None of them were built to answer the question that matters for AEO: which AI is reading you, and did it come back?
Every tier gets full bot detection, Stock vs Flow classification, and revisit tracking. Higher tiers add sites, history, and export.
AI Training bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended) ingest your content into future model weights — this is your Stock signal, representing long-term brand knowledge in AI systems. AI Search bots (OAI-SearchBot, Perplexitybot, Grok) retrieve your content for real-time answers being served to users right now — this is your Flow signal, representing current citation traffic. AI Access tells you which one just hit a page.
Yes. The tracker is a single HTML image tag. It requires no JavaScript, no plugin, and no server access. Paste it before </body> on any platform: WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Framer, Ghost, Next.js, or raw HTML.
Revisit tracking records when the same AI bot returns to the same page within a 30-day window and measures days elapsed between visits. If GPTBot returns to your blog post 11 days after you implemented schema markup, that's measurable proof your AEO change triggered a re-crawl. No other tool surfaces this as a primary metric.
Adversarial bots sometimes embed instructions in User-Agent strings or request parameters to attempt analytics poisoning — inflating metrics, skewing data, or probing API structure. Our endpoint runs 15 regex-pattern injection detection checks and input sanitization on every request before any data is logged. Malicious requests receive the 1×1 pixel response — so the bot detects nothing — but nothing is stored.
AI crawlers visit on their own schedule. Most customers see their first AI bot detection within 1–7 days of installing the embed. Active sites with published content and schema markup tend to see GPTBot or Perplexitybot within 48 hours.
Yes. Access, Pro, and Agency are all billed monthly with no contract — change tiers or cancel any time from your dashboard.
Every AEOfix citation implementation starts from the same access data this tracks — which pages AI actually reaches, and whether the crawler reaching them is who it claims to be. If you're already on Visibility or Fix, Access is the log your recommendations get built on.
