# OpenCrawl — full AI discovery document

> OpenCrawl measures AI visibility for your website—crawlability for AI bots, ChatGPT and open-web mentions, citations, and evidence-based scores.

This file is intended for large language models and AI crawlers that want a
deeper, factual summary of OpenCrawl (https://opencrawl.fun).

## Summary

OpenCrawl helps website owners measure AI visibility: whether major AI
crawlers can fetch their pages, whether the site publishes discoverability
signals (robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, metadata, structured data), and how
often the brand appears in answers to neutral buyer-intent prompts.

Primary audience: founders and marketers managing up to three public websites.

## Core capabilities

1. Crawlability audit
   - Checks access signals for AI bots including GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot,
     ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot,
     Google-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider, Amazonbot, meta-externalagent,
     and Applebot-Extended.
   - Fetches the homepage as GPTBot when possible.
   - Evaluates robots.txt, sitemap.xml, llms.txt / llms-full.txt, title,
     meta description, Open Graph, JSON-LD, headings, and whether the page
     looks like an empty SPA shell.
   - Checks Common Crawl presence as a training-data signal.

2. Buyer-intent visibility scans
   - Runs 20 neutral buyer-intent prompts per full scan.
   - Routes 8 prompts through live ChatGPT web search.
   - Routes 12 prompts through Exa open-web semantic search.
   - Records mentions, recommendations, citations, and competitor appearances.

3. Five-pillar composite score
   - Crawl access (25%)
   - Content readiness (20%)
   - ChatGPT search (30%)
   - Open-web coverage (20%)
   - Training presence / Common Crawl (5%)

4. Reports and exports

- Not a traditional SEO rank tracker for classic Google blue links alone.

  are intentionally not for public indexing.
