AEO and AI Search
AI Crawlers
TL;DR
AI crawlers are bots that AI companies use to collect web content, either for model training or for live retrieval in AI search. Examples include GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended.
How SaaStorm approaches it
Many SaaS sites block AI crawlers by accident through security tools or blanket robots.txt rules, then wonder why they never appear in AI answers. We check this early in every technical audit.
Our default is to allow the retrieval bots that drive citations and traffic, and make a deliberate decision with you about training crawlers based on how you view your content.
Turn search visibility into pipeline
We help European SaaS teams build an organic engine across SEO, AEO and content, measured in qualified pipeline.
