Why these five checks
AI assistants can only recommend you if their crawlers can read your site, if they find clear facts about you, and if the pages they search mention you. Each tool checks one of those links.
“OAI-SearchBot is used to surface websites in search results in ChatGPT’s search features.”

FAQ
What people ask before using the free tools: what they cost, where to start, and how they differ from the full Howseen report.
Are these tools really free?+
Yes. Every tool runs without signup or card. Some tools ask ChatGPT live, so each one has a small daily limit per visitor to keep it free for everyone.
Which tool should I start with?+
Start with the AI visibility checker to see if ChatGPT names your brand, then run the AI crawler checker to make sure AI bots can read your site.
How is this different from the full Howseen report?+
The tools give a one-time snapshot. The full report tracks 50 buyer questions on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode every 3 days, with competitors, sources and an action plan.
