Crypto users now ask AI before they Google. Crawlux runs your domain through real prompts in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude, then scores citation frequency, the wording AI uses about you and the gaps between you and the sites that get cited. The first AEO audit module purpose-built for crypto.
Getting cited in AI answers requires three things working together: structured access for AI bots, content shaped for retrieval and authority signals on crawlable sources. Crawlux audits all three.
Many sites accidentally block GPTBot or ClaudeBot in robots.txt because they copied a generic blocklist. Crawlux verifies the AI bot allowlist, validates FAQPage and Q-and-A schema and checks that key landing pages are reachable for AI crawlers.

Sends category-relevant prompts to ChatGPT (with browsing). Parses each response for your domain. Reports citation frequency, position in answer and the exact wording.
ChatGPT-4 · with browsingSame prompt set sent to Perplexity. Citations appear inline as numbered sources, so the audit captures whether you are listed and at what rank in the answer.
Perplexity · sonar-proSame prompts run through Claude with web search. Claude's answer style differs from ChatGPT, so the audit reports each engine separately.
Claude Opus · with webrobots.txt parsed for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot and Bytespider. Recommends an explicit allow strategy.

AI Visibility is module 03 of 08. AEO depends heavily on schema, trust signals and keyword intent, which is why the audit runs all eight together.

Most teams check AEO by typing a few prompts into ChatGPT. That misses the structural fixes. Crawlux runs the same prompt set across three LLMs every time and surfaces the why behind every citation gap.

The AI Visibility module runs alongside the seven other audit modules. Total audit time is typically under 60 seconds.
Crawlux maps your domain to its category (DeFi, exchange, NFT, wallet, layer-1) and selects the matching prompt set. Each set has 30+ category-relevant queries pulled from real user search behavior in AI engines.

View citation tests →For prompts where you are not cited, Crawlux diagnoses the structural cause: AI bot blocked in robots.txt, missing FAQPage schema, low factual density on key pages or no presence on crawlable authority sources.

Common questions about AI search optimization for crypto and Web3 sites.
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization (also called Generative Engine Optimization or GEO). Where SEO targets ranked links on Google, AEO targets being cited inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and similar engines. Signals overlap with SEO (authority, schema, factual density) but the optimization tactics differ. AEO matters more in crypto because users now ask AI models for protocol recommendations before they Google.
Run a free audit to see your current AEO score across three LLMs.
Crawlux runs your domain through real prompts in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. The module sends category-relevant queries (best DeFi yield, top NFT marketplace, safest hardware wallet) and parses the AI responses for citations, mentions and the wording models use about your project. Each LLM is tested separately so you see where you appear and where you do not.
The audit currently runs against ChatGPT (with browsing), Perplexity and Claude. These three cover the largest share of AI-driven crypto research traffic. Google AI Overviews and Bing Copilot are on the roadmap. Each engine produces an independent citation score so you can see which AI search engine drives the most traffic for your category.
Five fast wins. First, allow AI bots in robots.txt (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot). Second, add comprehensive Q-and-A blocks with FAQPage schema on key landing pages. Third, get cited on crawlable authority sources like CoinGecko, DefiLlama and crypto news outlets. Fourth, keep factual density high (specific numbers, dates, named entities). Fifth, validate Organization schema with sameAs links to GitHub and Twitter. The Crawlux audit prioritizes each fix by AEO impact.
Yes. Many sites accidentally block AI bots in robots.txt because they copied a generic blocklist. Crawlux checks your robots.txt for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot and Bytespider. The audit recommends an explicit allowlist for AI search engines you want to appear in plus a clean disallow for scraper bots you do not.
Yes. Each audit timestamps the AEO score per LLM. Pro tier ($25) gives a 90-day re-audit window. Team tier ($49) gives unlimited re-audits per domain. Most teams run weekly or monthly AEO audits to track citation frequency over time, especially around product launches and PR cycles.
AEO scores range from 0 to 100. Below 30 means your site barely registers in AI answers for category queries. 30-60 is typical for a site with decent authority but missing AEO-specific structure. Above 60 means you appear consistently as a cited source. Top crypto sites in their category typically score 70-85. Crawlux benchmarks your score against the top 20 sites in your vertical.
Generic SEO tools like Ahrefs and Semrush do not test AI search at all. They cannot tell you whether ChatGPT cites your site for a query or what wording it uses. Crawlux's AEO module sends real prompts to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude, parses the responses, scores citations and produces specific fixes for each LLM. Crawlux is the only audit tool calibrated for crypto AEO specifically.
