Can Google and ChatGPT
see your site?

We read your site the way Google's crawler and AI bots do and show what gets in their way. Every finding comes with an explanation, a fix and a source.

Up to 90 seconds. We open up to 20 pages like a regular visitor and follow robots.txt.

What to fix first

What we found: robots.txt closes the home page to: ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot).
Why it matters: OpenAI says sites that block OAI-SearchBot won't be shown in ChatGPT search answers, though they can still appear as navigational links. When someone asks ChatGPT about businesses or services, the site won't be among the answer's sources. If you closed ChatGPT search on purpose, you can ignore this note.
How to fix: Allow OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt. To opt out of model training only, close GPTBot and keep OAI-SearchBot open: OpenAI says these settings are independent.
User-agent: OAI-SearchBot
Allow: /

User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /

OpenAI says robots.txt changes take about 24 hours to apply.

Who can fix it: We can handle this as part of our One-time SEO package: we'll open the site to ChatGPT search, keep closed what's closed on purpose and check robots.txt. Or you can do it yourself in robots.txt.
Check it yourself: Open https://example-bakery.com/robots.txt and find the group User-agent: OAI-SearchBot, or User-agent: * if there's none: it has Disallow: / or another rule that covers the home page.
What we found: 1 of 12 links from the home page leads to a page that doesn't exist: https://example-bakery.com/menu-2024 (404).
Why it matters: Someone clicks a link and sees an error instead of a service or contact page. Google doesn't index such pages and removes them from search if they were indexed.
How to fix: Point the link to the right address. If the page moved, set up a permanent 301 redirect from the old address to the new one; if it was deleted, remove the link.
Who can fix it: We can handle this as part of our One-time SEO package: we'll fix the links, set up redirects for moved pages and check every link from the home page. Or you can do it yourself in the site editor.
Check it yourself: Open https://example-bakery.com/menu-2024: the site shows an error page. httpstatus.io shows the status code of every address in the list.
What we found: 4 of 9 images on the home page https://example-bakery.com/ have no alt attribute, for example: https://example-bakery.com/img/croissants.jpg, https://example-bakery.com/img/team.jpg.
Why it matters: Alt is the text description of an image. Screen readers read it out to people who can't see images, and without alt some of them read out the file name instead. Google uses alt to understand what the image shows, including for Google Images.
How to fix: Give every image that shows something a short description of what's in it, without a list of keywords. For example:
<img src="kitchen.jpg" alt="Kitchen after renovation: white cabinets and a wooden countertop">

Give decorative images (backgrounds, dividers, patterns) an empty alt="": screen readers skip them. In site builders and CMSs, the description is usually in the image settings, in a field called “Alt” or “Alternative text”.

Who can fix it: We can handle this as part of our One-time SEO package: we'll write descriptions for the images on the home page, give decorative ones an empty alt and check it. Or you can do it yourself in the image settings.
Check it yourself: Open view-source:https://example-bakery.com/ and search for <img: these images have no alt, for example https://example-bakery.com/img/croissants.jpg.

Other findings

What we found: We didn't find a known visit counter in the home page code or in the site's scripts: Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Yandex Metrica and others. Some setups are invisible to a scan: if you know a counter is installed, check it as described below.
Why it matters: Without a counter you can't see how many people come, where from, or what they do on the site. You can't tell which channel brings customers or whether ads pay off.
How to fix: Set up Google Analytics 4 (free) or Yandex Metrica. If the site has a cookie consent banner, start the counter after consent.
Who can fix it: We can handle this as part of our One-time SEO package: we'll set up a visit counter and Search Console and check that the counter records visits. Or you can set up a counter yourself using Google's instructions. To see how many leads each channel brings, you also need goals: we set them up as part of our Audit & Analytics service.
Check it yourself: In the home page code (view-source:https://example-bakery.com/), search for gtag, googletagmanager or mc.yandex. If the counter starts after cookie consent, accept cookies and look at the Network tab.

Rules from Google
and AI services

Stratosly, a studio that builds and promotes websites, made this check. Every rule comes from the documentation of Google or the AI crawler makers, and every finding links to its source.

To us a false alarm is worse than a miss: when the check isn't sure, it doesn't call it a problem. And there's no score out of 100 and no ranking promise: we show what gets in the way and how to fix it.

Questions

Website check:
cost, email, safety

Answers to common questions about the check. If yours isn't here, write to us using the form below.

Nothing. No card, no trial, no sign-up: just an email to open the report. The check is free because it shows how we work: if we find problems, we'll offer to fix them, and it's your call.

ChatGPT, Perplexity and other AI services answer questions about products and services and link to the sites they took the answer from. If their crawlers can't read your site, it won't make it into those answers, even if everything is fine with Google.

Our One-time SEO package is $500 for sites up to 15 pages. For larger sites, we quote based on the report.

The check is free, and in return we ask for permission to get in touch: to write about the results, offer help and share news. There's a separate checkbox for that. We'll send the link to your report either way. No spam, and you can unsubscribe in one click.

Any public site: built on Tilda, WordPress, Wix, Lovable or custom code. The check can't see pages behind a password, and neither can Google.

No. We open up to 20 pages, at most three at a time, never submit forms and follow robots.txt. The scanner identifies itself as Stratoscope, so you'll see it in your server logs.

Rankings are only visible in your Search Console or paid databases. The check sees the site from outside, like any visitor, so it shows what gets in Google's way, not your position in results.

One site once every 7 days: if it was checked recently, you'll see the existing report. After fixing things, check again in a week.

PageSpeed Insights rates the speed and technical quality of one page. The check looks wider: access for Google and 16 AI crawlers, indexing, search texts and markup across 20 pages. We take speed from Google's own data and explain every finding in plain words.

Start with “What to fix first”: that's where the most serious findings are. We can fix them as part of our One-time SEO package, and the report's instructions help if you have your own developer. After the fixes, check the site again in a week.

Every finding has “Check it yourself”: how to see the problem in a browser or a free tool. If it doesn't hold up, write to us and we'll look into it.

We'll fix what we find

The check shows what gets in the way. We fix it with our One-time SEO package: $500 for sites up to 15 pages, with a work report and a growth plan.
