It allows advertisers to instantly see whether a site can be crawled by AI platforms — a critical factor in any LLM visibility or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) strategy. --- #### Why is AI Access important for advertisers? In a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) strategy, an article only has value if AI search engines can access it. - ✅ **Site accessible** → The article can be crawled and potentially cited in AI-generated responses. - 🔒 **Site blocked** → The article is invisible to the affected AI platform. AI Access helps advertisers avoid investing in placements that cannot support their LLM visibility goals. --- #### How does AI Access work? AI Access analyzes each publisher’s **robots.txt** file. This file defines which crawlers are allowed — or not allowed — to access the website. The feature specifically checks the user-agents used by major AI platforms: - **OAI-SearchBot** (ChatGPT) - **ClaudeBot** (Anthropic) - **PerplexityBot** - **Google-Extended** (Gemini) A single blocking directive is enough to prevent a platform from accessing the entire site. ![faq\_demo\_2](https://help.getfluence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/faq_demo_2.gif?width=670&height=548&name=faq_demo_2.gif) --- #### How do I read the AI Access indicators? In the marketplace search results, a dedicated AI Access column displays a clear visual status. ![Capture d’écran 2026-02-26 à 12.37.57](https://help.getfluence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%202026-02-26%20%C3%A0%2012.37.57.png?width=338&height=467&name=Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%202026-02-26%20%C3%A0%2012.37.57.png)  | Icon | Meaning | GEO Suitability | | --- | --- | --- | | ✓ | No blocks detected | Suitable | | ⚠ | Partial block (ChatGPT still accessible) | To assess | | 🔒 | ChatGPT blocked | Not recommended | | — | Data unavailable | Double-check | Hovering over the icon provides a quick summary. --- #### Can I filter out websites that block AI platforms? Yes. An **AI Access filter** allows you to exclude blocked websites and quickly build a media plan aligned with your GEO strategy. ![Capture d’écran 2026-02-26 à 12.29.37](https://help.getfluence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%202026-02-26%20%C3%A0%2012.29.37.png?width=670&height=176&name=Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%202026-02-26%20%C3%A0%2012.29.37.png) --- #### How often is the data updated? Robots.txt files are analyzed **monthly**. The displayed status reflects the most recent analysis. Since publishers may update their policies, AI Access should be considered current but not permanent information. --- #### Does AI Access guarantee citation in ChatGPT? No. AI Access indicates technical accessibility only. Whether an article is cited depends on: - Content quality - Relevance to the query - Structure and clarity - Overall editorial value AI Access is a necessary condition for LLM visibility — but not a guarantee. --- #### How is AI Access different from the AI-First format? The **AI-First format** optimizes article structure to maximize AI comprehension. AI Access verifies technical accessibility. 👉 Both are complementary: Even the best-optimized content cannot perform if it is published on a site blocked by AI crawlers. ---   - [Registration and Login](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/registration-and-login?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General questions](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/registration-and-login?hsLang=en#general-questions) - [Account access](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/registration-and-login?hsLang=en#account-access) - [User account management](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/user-account-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Customize my account](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/user-account-management?hsLang=en#customize-my-account) - [Delete my account](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/user-account-management?hsLang=en#delete-my-account) - [Advertisers](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/advertisers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Search in our media database](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/advertisers?hsLang=en#search-in-our-media-database) - [Publish sponsored content or articles](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/advertisers?hsLang=en#publish-sponsored-content-or-articles) - [Place an order](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/advertisers?hsLang=en#place-an-order) - [Payment & Billing](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/advertisers?hsLang=en#payment-billing) - [Manage an outgoing order](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/advertisers?hsLang=en#manage-an-outgoing-order) - [Manage my account](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/advertisers?hsLang=en#manage-my-account) - [My additional services](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/advertisers?hsLang=en#my-additional-services) - [Publishers](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/publishers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [My account management](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/publishers?hsLang=en#my-account-management) - [Managing my websites](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/publishers?hsLang=en#managing-my-websites) - [Manage an order proposal](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/publishers?hsLang=en#manage-an-order-proposal) - [Manage an ongoing mission](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/publishers?hsLang=en#manage-an-ongoing-mission) - [Error message on an ongoing mission](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/publishers?hsLang=en#error-message-on-an-ongoing-mission) - [Withdrawing my money](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/publishers?hsLang=en#withdrawing-my-money) - [Integrations](https://help.getfluence.com/en/support/integrations?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.getfluence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Getfluence_logo_noir-1.png?width=105&height=24&name=Getfluence_logo_noir-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://getfluence.com/) Help center getfluence.com Copyright © 2026, GETFLUENCE
