What BeSeenByAI does, how the audit works under the hood, and what to expect on pricing, onboarding, and team workflows.
What the tool covers and how it compares to traditional SEO and prompt-tracking workflows.
BeSeenByAI audits technical crawlability and content visibility across 33 AI bots to improve your GEO through two key functions:
Identifying hidden technical blockers. We diagnose why bots like GPTBot or ClaudeBot can't reach or parse your site, surfacing the technical issues that cause invisibility regardless of content quality.
Optimizing for winnable prompts. The platform identifies prompts your pages are already positioned for and provides a prioritized list of specific content edits to ensure you win those citations.
Prompt tracking lacks actionable insights because it doesn't explain why visibility drops. Unlike Google rankings, these scores aren't tied to stable factors.
BeSeenByAI emulates LLMs to provide a clear optimization recipe, identifying the specific issues preventing citations for targeted prompts rather than just reporting past activity.
Most don't, or they render inconsistently. Googlebot has a mature two-pass rendering pipeline; the major AI crawlers largely fetch raw HTML and skip JavaScript execution, or render with significant limitations. If your pricing, product specs, or core copy only appears after a JS load, those crawlers won't see it.
Traditional SEO audits optimize for Googlebot, which renders JS, follows structured data conventions, and has been the target for 20 years. AI crawlers behave differently: simpler rendering, different content preferences, different signals of authority.
A site that scores 95 in a standard audit can still be invisible to ChatGPT. We test specifically for the AI crawler stack.
Yes. We don't replace Ahrefs, Semrush, or Screaming Frog. Keyword research, backlinks, and Googlebot-specific audits are still their strength. We cover the AI-crawler layer those tools weren't designed for.
Yes. Run the same audit on competitor domains to see what they've gotten right that you haven't — clean schema, server-rendered content, open robots.txt for AI bots. It's usually the fastest way to find your own gaps.
You can also scan a competitor page you see appearing in LLMs and judge whether it's optimized, or whether there's an opportunity to create a better, more scannable answer.
Yes. Add multiple domains and subdomains under one account. Each gets its own audit history so you can track fixes over time.
For convenience, you can separate different clients and websites into different Project dashboards inside your account.
Yes, depending on your plan. Full report exports as PDF and CSV, plus per-issue data via API on Agency plans. Useful for handing off to dev teams or including in client deliverables.
How the audit actually works — from emulated crawlers to schema validation and content chunking.
A blocked crawler is a hard "no" — your content can never enter the model's training or retrieval data. Not being cited despite being accessible is a different problem: crawlers reach you, but your content isn't structured in a way they can extract clean answers from.
The major AI labs publish technical documentation on how their crawlers behave. We research that documentation continuously, updating our audit as the behavior changes.
But documentation tells you what crawlers should do, not always what they actually do. To close that gap, we've built emulation models that fetch your pages the way each crawler does in practice, so you see your site through the bot's eyes rather than the browser's.
The result is optimization grounded in real GEO expertise and verified crawler behavior — not guesswork, and not whatever ChatGPT told you to do last week.
When an AI model retrieves your content to answer a question, it doesn't pull your whole page — it pulls a chunk. Models break content into segments of a few hundred tokens, embed each chunk, and retrieve the ones that best match the query.
If your page is one long unbroken block of copy, the model is forced to grab arbitrary slices that may cut a sentence in half, separate a claim from its evidence, or split a heading from its answer. The chunk that gets cited is whichever fragment scored well, not necessarily the one that represents you accurately.
Our tool inspects how your pages will be chunked and tokenized by AI systems and flags structures that fragment poorly. Think of it like the Yoast meta description score that taught a generation of SEOs to write in the 150–160 character window Google would actually display.
FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Product, and Organization schemas are most consistently used by AI systems for grounding citations. We validate that your schema is technically correct and semantically useful.
The tool gives structural recommendations for page types including homepage, product page, blog post, about page, contact, landing page, category page, comparison page, case study, careers, FAQ, and events — and we're adding more.
Fixing technical issues is necessary, not sufficient. Once a model can read your page, the question becomes whether your content matches the prompts buyers are actually asking — which is why the audit is only half the product.
Reverse Prompting analyzes a page and surfaces the prompts it's likely to be cited for, so you know what targets you're already positioned to win.
Prompt Fit goes the other direction: pick a specific prompt you want to be cited for, and we return concrete optimization actions to close the gap.
Together they turn "make this page better" into "make this page win this prompt" — the layer most teams skip and the reason most pages stay invisible even after the technical fixes ship.
Once crawlers can access your content, models update on their own retrieval and training cadences. Perplexity often within days; ChatGPT and Gemini over weeks to months depending on the engine and the content type.
We can confirm bots are now reading your pages immediately. Visibility downstream takes longer.

Getting started, prioritizing fixes, and sharing reports with your team or clients.
Under five minutes. Add your domain, and the first audit runs immediately. You can scan your entire website in minutes using our Batch Scan feature.
You don't need to be a developer to read the report. Every issue is explained in plain language with severity, impact, and what to do about it.
Fixing the issues often involves your dev team. We make the handoff easier with developer-ready remediation notes for each finding.
The dashboard gives you a single score that tells you at a glance how your page stands with AI crawlers, plus a structured breakdown of every issue grouped by severity.
The order is the priority. Start at the top, work down, and you're fixing the issues with the biggest impact first — without having to guess what matters most.
Every audit report has a Copy Share Link button for read-only access, and a Download PDF button for handing off as a deliverable.
For pages you're actively monitoring, we also send email notifications when an audit completes or when something changes, so you don't have to log in to know where things stand.
Every audit you run adds a report visible from the Reports dashboard.
You can separate different brands or sites into Projects on a Pro account (up to 5 projects) or an Agency account (up to 20 projects).
Yes. Schedule weekly, monthly, or quarterly re-audits, and we'll alert you when something breaks.
AI crawler access is the kind of thing that silently regresses — a CDN rule change, a new security plugin, a robots.txt update — and you want to know fast.
Try the audit on your own site, or reach out and we'll walk through it with you.
