Your next buyer may ask ChatGPT first. Will it find you?
GEOmonitorai reads your website's server logs to show which AI platforms visit, which pages they read, and which key product pages they have never seen. Then we give you a clear list of fixes.
Setup takes about 30 minutes and does not change your site content. Your audit report is ready after 2–4 weeks of monitoring.

In 2024, Gartner predicted that traditional search engine volume would drop 25% by 2026 because of AI chatbots and virtual agents.
Source: Gartner press release, Feb 19, 2024AI crawlers we identify include OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google, Microsoft, ByteDance, Baidu, Kimi and Tencent Hunyuan.
Every crawler is checked by user agent and by official IP ranges. Visits that only claim to be AI are labeled "unverified".
Most B2B companies have no idea how AI sees their website
More procurement teams now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews which suppliers to trust. AI can only recommend you if it can read your website first.
Your analytics can't see AI crawlers
Tools like Google Analytics count visits with a browser script. AI crawlers don't run scripts, so the only record of their visits is in your server logs.
Your firewall may be turning them away
Security plugins, hosting firewalls and CDN bot protection often block some AI crawlers by default. Site owners rarely know it is happening.
AI answers name your competitors
Whether AI lists you for a buyer's question, where you rank, and which products it mentions can only be known by testing real questions regularly.
Asks an AI assistant
"Who makes reliable 200-ton hydraulic presses?"
Sends crawlers to read pages
OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot and others fetch relevant websites in real time.
What did it read?
Names a few suppliers
It can only recommend companies it has read and understood. Pages it never reads cannot appear in the answer.
GEOmonitorai measures step three: exactly what AI has read on your website.
From "Did AI visit?" to "Does AI recommend you?"
The first four are collected automatically. The fifth is tested by our consultants using real buyer questions.
Requests by platform
Key product pages
- Crawled 7
- Never crawled 11
| /products/cnc-press-brake/ | Not crawled |
| /products/screw-compressor-37kw/ | 403 |
Which AI platforms visit
Crawler identity, purpose (training, AI search, or fetches triggered by a user's question) and trends over time. Spoofed crawlers are flagged.
Whether key pages are seen
We compare your page list with what AI has actually crawled and list the product pages, categories and articles it has never read, ranked by business value.
Whether AI gets blocked
Status codes, response times and failure reasons for AI requests, plus checks on robots.txt and your sitemap. We find 403 blocks, 404 dead links and server errors.
Visitors and leads from AI
We identify visitors who arrive from ChatGPT, Perplexity and other AI search tools, where they land, and whether they send an inquiry.
Whether AI answers mention you
Together we pick 10 questions your buyers really ask. We test each one in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude, track your mention rate against competitors, and retest monthly.
A dashboard you can open anytime
Each website gets its own live dashboard. Share a read-only link with your team or management. They only ever see your own site.
Analytics tells you who came. GEOmonitorai tells you what AI saw.
| What you want to know | Standard analytics (e.g. Google Analytics) | GEOmonitorai |
|---|---|---|
| Did AI crawlers visit? | Not visible, crawlers don't run the script | Every visit identified from server logs, by platform and purpose |
| Which product pages AI missed | Not available | Your page list compared against crawls |
| Is AI being blocked? | Not available | 403, 404 and 5xx errors traced to exact pages |
| Fake AI crawlers | Can't tell them apart | Checked against official IP ranges |
| Do AI answers mention you? | Not available | Real buyer questions tested in major AI tools, retested monthly |
| Visitors and leads from AI | Partly, often lumped into "direct" | AI search sources identified and linked to landing pages and inquiries |
Ask AI your buyers' questions
Crawl data shows whether AI can read you. Answer tests show whether AI recommends you. You need both to see the full picture.
- Supplier A (Germany) — oil-free and oil-injected ranges
- Your Company — 7.5–250 kW, CE and ISO 9001 certified
- Supplier C (Italy) — …

Three steps to your AI visibility audit
Connect your site
Add one line of tracking code and install a small log collector on your server. We help remotely. Your content and design stay untouched.
Monitor
AI crawlers don't visit every day, so 2–4 weeks of data gives a reliable picture. We run the AI answer tests during this period.
Report and review
You get the AI visibility audit report and a 30-minute video call that explains the problems, what you can fix yourself, and what needs expert work.
The more buyers rely on technical detail, the more AI matters
Industrial buyers use AI to compare specs, standards and suppliers. Here are typical questions by industry.
Machinery & equipment
Power & test instruments
Automotive parts
Chemicals & materials
Building materials & hardware
Electronics & components
Clear for management, specific enough for your web team

Your data stays yours
No cookies
Visitor stats are cookieless by default and do not track personal identity, so no extra consent banner is needed for them.
IPs masked before storage
Visitor IPs are used only while parsing and masked before they reach the database. Query strings are stripped.
Read-only collection
The log collector only reads your access log. It never changes site files and can be stopped or removed at any time.
Isolated per company
Each website has its own data space. Shared links are read-only, and no other client can see your data.
GEOmonitorai
Monitoring is the start. Getting seen by AI is the goal.
GEOmonitorai is run by VALTARIQ, a digital marketing company built for companies going global. We help exporters, manufacturers and B2B brands grow with Google SEO, social media, website development and AI search optimization.
GEOmonitorai measures the problem first. VALTARIQ's services fix it, with data at every step.
Frequently asked questions
Will it slow down my website?
No. The tracking script loads deferred and never blocks rendering. The log collector only reads existing log files and takes no part in serving your pages.
Do I need to change my website?
Only one line of code in your page header. Content, design and URLs stay the same. The log collector runs on the server, outside your site.
Is visitor data safe?
Stats are cookieless by default. Visitor IPs are masked before storage. Data is kept on our own servers, never shared with third parties, and each company only sees its own website.
How soon will I see results?
The audit takes 2–4 weeks. After technical fixes, AI crawlers usually return to normal within a few weeks. Changes in AI answers move more slowly and are best tracked month by month.
Can you guarantee that AI will recommend us?
No, and no one honestly can. Each AI platform decides what it recommends. We make sure AI can read and understand your website, and we track the results with data.
How is this different from SEO?
SEO focuses on rankings in Google results. GEO focuses on whether AI answers mention you. The foundations overlap, but AI crawl patterns, blocking issues and citation behavior need their own monitoring.
Should I allow every AI crawler?
Not necessarily. Crawlers for AI search and user-triggered fetches are usually worth allowing. Crawlers used only for model training are your call. The audit lists them separately so you can decide.
What happens to our data after the audit?
Your choice. If you don't continue, you can ask us to delete your website's data and remove the collector.
