See exactly which AI bots crawl your site, when they crawl it, and what they take. citAEOtion reads your real server traffic and classifies every crawler - GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Meta, Bingbot - live. No prompts to babysit. No guessing.
This is live server traffic from a real site, classified by what each crawler is actually doing.
| Crawler | Category | Visits |

| Meta-ExternalAgent | AI training | 1,563 |
| Meta-WebIndexer | Data scraper | 1,523 |
| BingBot | AI search | 1,263 |
| GPTBot | AI training | 1,068 |
| ClaudeBot | AI training | 707 |
| PerplexityBot | AI search | 34 |
"The Other Guys" have you pick the prompts you want to rank for, then report how you place on them. Sounds useful until you ask the obvious question: you chose the prompt - how do you know a single real person ever types it? You don't. It's like asking Google to rank you for a long-tail keyword nobody searches, then hoping it sends you business.
citAEOtion doesn't track prompts you invented. We track the actual AI bots hitting your site - and we tell you exactly who, what, and which:
Every crawler, sorted into AI Training, AI Search, AI Assistant, and Data Scraper.
The exact pages each crawler hit, and how often.
Not just "OpenAI" - which of their bots, by name.
Real visits. Real pages. Real bots, named and categorized. No prompts to babysit, no score to take on faith.
Across 4 AI search engines. You pick the prompts, then hope someone real ever types them.
ALL the data from 57 AI bots - who hit you, what time, which page, which of their bots, and the HTTP status they got. Aggregated across every page you own, so you can see if what you're doing is actually working.
Real bot behavior exposes the weak points quietly killing your AI visibility:
The bots show you what's broken, on every URL. A prompt score can't see any of it.
The crawler mix tells you whether you're being cited or just consumed. That tells you whether your framing is working. That tells you what to change - then you watch the search hits climb to prove it.
A prompt score tells you where you rank. citAEOtion tells you how to become the answer.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Perplexity, Meta, Bingbot - identified and labeled the moment they hit a page.
Which pages, how often, and exactly when. Watch a content change get re-crawled.
See who is training on you and who is citing you live. They are not the same signal.
The same install that measures every AI crawler also tells them your site is open - so more of them show up.
No fluff, no asterisks.
