About Surfacepath
A free, independent check for one question: can AI assistants and search engines find, read and quote your site?
Why it exists
More people now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Google's AI answers instead of clicking through search results. Whether your site shows up in those answers starts with plain technical questions: are the right crawlers allowed in, can they read the page without running JavaScript, and is the answer easy to lift. Surfacepath checks those in a few seconds and tells you what to fix.
How the guides are written
Every guide starts from the AI companies' own documentation and from running the checker on real sites. Each opens with a short answer, links to its sources, and shows the date it was last updated. When a crawler or a rule changes, the guide is updated.
Independence
No company pays to be mentioned or recommended here. If a guide ever links to a product we earn from, it says so on that page.
