OAI-SearchBot access audit
robots.txt, CDN, firewall rules, and server logs checked so OpenAI's search crawler can reach your pages.
The Problem
ChatGPT Can't Recommend What Its Crawler Can't Read
This shows up when a firewall, a rendering setup, or scattered brand facts keep ChatGPT search from reading or trusting your pages. Its answers then lean on whatever other sites say.
Blocked crawler
Firewall rules quietly block OpenAI's search crawler.
Blocked crawler
We allow OAI-SearchBot and OpenAI's published IP ranges, then confirm visits in your logs.
JavaScript
Pricing and plans load only through JavaScript.
JavaScript
Key facts render in the HTML, so crawlers read them without running scripts.
Old facts
ChatGPT describes a product you retired last year.
Old facts
We correct the pages and profiles that still carry the old product and name.
Shortlists
Comparison prompts list competitors and skip you.
Shortlists
Fair comparison pages give ChatGPT search a source that includes you.
A prospect tells you they found your competitor through ChatGPT. You try the same question and get a tidy shortlist of three brands, none of them yours. Ask about you directly, and it describes a product you retired last year. Your developer checks the logs: a CDN bot rule has blocked OpenAI's crawler for months. Your pricing page loads its plans with JavaScript, and your G2 profile still shows the old name. Each gap is small. Together they make you invisible.
We start with access: OAI-SearchBot allowed in robots.txt, OpenAI's published IP ranges let through your firewall, and key pages readable without JavaScript. Then we fix the facts ChatGPT repeats: one clear brand description, plain pricing and product pages, fair comparison pages, and corrected outside profiles. We test real buyer prompts before and after, so you see what changed instead of guessing.
Crawler access unblocked
OAI-SearchBot allowed in robots.txt, CDN rules, and firewall settings, with OpenAI's IP ranges checked.
Brand facts made consistent
One description, current prices, and live products on your site and the profiles buyers can find.
Prompts tested twice
25 to 100 real buyer prompts run in ChatGPT before the sprint and again about 45 days later.
Our ChatGPT SEO Services Process
From Free Prompt Test to a Retest 45 Days Later in Five Clear Steps
You see how ChatGPT answers your buyers' questions today before you pay. Then you approve every access change and page edit, and the retest shows what moved.
We run 10 of your buyer prompts in ChatGPT with search on, note who gets named, and check whether OpenAI's crawler can reach you. You get a short call and a fixed price for the sprint.
What's Included
What You Get With ChatGPT SEO Optimization
Every plan opens your site to OpenAI's search crawler, makes your brand facts consistent, and tests real buyer prompts before and after. Larger plans fix more pages and more outside profiles.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, platforms, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Brands Pick Us as Their ChatGPT SEO Agency
OpenAI documents how its crawlers work, and we start there. We fix what we can verify, test with real prompts, and don't pretend anyone controls what ChatGPT says.
No OpenAI partnership claimed
We aren't partners with OpenAI, and nobody can buy a mention in ChatGPT. We fix access and facts, then show you honest before-and-after results.
We follow OpenAI's own docs
Crawler names, robots.txt rules, and IP ranges come from what OpenAI publishes. When that documentation changes, our checklist changes with it.
Logs, not guesses
We confirm crawler visits in your server or CDN logs after every access change. A fix isn't done until the log shows OAI-SearchBot reaching the page.
Training and search kept apart
Blocking GPTBot stops model training on your content, while OAI-SearchBot decides search visibility. We explain both, so you choose each one on purpose.
We say when it's too early
If your category gets few ChatGPT prompts yet, or your site has bigger SEO problems, the free test will say so. Your budget may do more elsewhere first.
Fixes stay in your stack
robots.txt changes, page edits, the fact sheet, and the prompt report all stay with you. Your team can rerun the same prompts any time.

Good fit
Ecommerce brands in crowded categories
Your shoppers ask ChatGPT which brand to buy, and the answer lists three competitors with prices while your store doesn't come up.
SaaS companies on comparison shortlists
Your buyers ask ChatGPT for the best tools in your category, and the shortlist names rivals because your comparison content is thin or missing.
Brands behind strict firewall rules
Your security team set Cloudflare or another CDN to block AI bots, and nobody checked whether that also blocked ChatGPT search.
Companies after a rebrand
You changed your name, pricing, or product line, but ChatGPT still describes the old version from profiles nobody updated.
Agencies fielding client questions
Your clients keep asking how to show up in ChatGPT, and you want a fixed-scope sprint you can resell with a clear before-and-after report.
Not a fit
Every AI engine, monthly
You want ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI answers covered month after month. AI SEO Services runs that ongoing program.
Build your own GPT
You want a custom GPT or chatbot for your customers, not visibility in ChatGPT search. Our AI Chatbot Development page covers that build.
Brand identity is unclear
Your company shares a name with others, or search engines confuse you with another entity. Entity SEO Services sorts that out first.
Budget under $600
Your budget is under $600, or you only need robots.txt checked. If a quick fix by your own developer covers it, we'll tell you before we quote.

Our ChatGPT Access Fix starts at $600 and covers the crawler audit, rendering checks on 10 pages, a brand fact sheet, and a 25-prompt test. The Visibility Sprint costs $1,100 and adds fixes on 15 pages, a comparison page, and 10 profiles. The Brand Program costs $1,950 for larger brands. You get a fixed proposal after the free prompt test.
Access fixes take 1 to 2 weeks, and the full program takes up to 6 weeks. OpenAI says robots.txt changes can take about 24 hours to reach its search systems, so we confirm crawler visits in your logs. We retest the same prompts about 45 days after the fixes, because answers that lean on outside profiles change more slowly.
It's the work of making your brand easy for ChatGPT search to find, read, and describe correctly. Some people write it as Chat GPT SEO, but the job is the same: open your site to OpenAI's search crawler, keep your facts consistent across the web, and publish pages that answer the questions buyers ask ChatGPT.
Start with access, then facts, then content. Allow OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt and your firewall, and make sure key pages show their facts without JavaScript. Then keep one consistent description, price list, and product list on your site and outside profiles. Finally, publish fair comparison pages for the shortlist prompts buyers actually type.
Allow OpenAI's OAI-SearchBot crawler. OpenAI says sites that opt out of OAI-SearchBot won't be shown in ChatGPT search answers. It recommends allowing the bot in robots.txt and letting its published IP ranges through. GPTBot is a separate crawler used for model training, with its own robots.txt setting.
Optimize the pages ChatGPT is most likely to draw on for your buyers' questions. Put the direct answer first, state prices and specs in plain text, and keep comparison pages fair and current. Fix the technical SEO ChatGPT depends on, such as crawl access and rendering, before rewriting anything, because unreadable pages can't be cited.
ChatGPT adds a second place where buyers research, next to Google, so SEO now includes being described correctly in AI answers. Simple questions may send fewer clicks, and the visits that do come from chatgpt.com show up in GA4 as referrals you can track. The basics carry over: crawlable pages, clear answers, and consistent facts.
No. ChatGPT search still pulls from web pages, so those pages need to be crawlable, accurate, and worth citing, which is SEO work. What it replaces is part of the click: some buyers now get their shortlist inside ChatGPT. Being on that shortlist, with the right facts, becomes a goal next to rankings in Google.
The best ones show you real prompt results before and after, and they work from OpenAI's own crawler documentation. Ask whether they check your firewall and server logs, not just your content. Be wary of anyone who claims an OpenAI partnership or promises mentions, because OpenAI decides what ChatGPT says.
Several do, including DeveloperLook, which runs fixed-scope sprints from $600. When you compare ChatGPT SEO companies, ask what they change, not just what they track. We fix crawler access, rendering, brand facts, and comparison pages, then rerun the same buyer prompts about 45 days later so you can judge the result yourself.
