ChatGPT technical SEO audit
Updated
Enter a domain and Leadee crawls it with the same technical SEO engine as the general audit, then this page highlights the subset of issues that specifically block OpenAI's bots from reaching your pages or finding the right ones to retrieve: robots.txt rules for search/training bots, HTTP errors, redirect chains, sitemap and canonical problems, and llms.txt. Not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI.

Leadee is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI. “ChatGPT”, “GPTBot” and the other names on this page are OpenAI's own, used only to describe what this tool measures.
What this checks
- robots.txt rules that block OAI-SearchBot/ChatGPT-User (search/answer access) or GPTBot (training)
- HTTP errors and redirect chains that stop a bot reaching a page at all
- Sitemap and canonical problems that stop a bot finding or trusting the right URL
- Whether an llms.txt file exists
Example result
1 high issue
- OAI-SearchBot blocked by robots.txt
- Redirect chain found on 2 pages
- Sitemap found · canonical tags consistent
How to read your result
This page shows the same full technical SEO report as the general audit, with the bot-access and retrieval issues called out first — fix a robots.txt block on a search/answer bot before anything else, since that stops ChatGPT from reaching the page at all.
Limitations
Same crawl and check set as the general Technical SEO Audit (homepage plus up to 10 pages, up to 200 links checked, capped at 45 seconds) — this page highlights the bot-access/retrieval subset of the same issues, it does not run a separate or deeper crawl, and it cannot confirm what OpenAI's bots do beyond what robots.txt and the live crawl show.
How to fix what it finds
- Enter the domain you want to audit.
- Read the bot-access and retrieval issues first: robots.txt blocks, HTTP errors, redirect chains, sitemap/canonical problems.
- Fix those before titles, meta descriptions or other general SEO issues.
- Re-run the audit after you publish the fixes.
Questions
Is this tool affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI?
No. Leadee is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI. "ChatGPT" and "OpenAI" are used only to describe which bots this page highlights.
Is this a different crawl from the general Technical SEO Audit?
No — same engine, same check set, same crawl budget; this page reorders and frames the result around the issues that specifically affect OpenAI's bots and page retrieval, it does not run extra checks.
Which issues matter most for ChatGPT specifically?
A robots.txt rule blocking OAI-SearchBot or ChatGPT-User matters most — it stops ChatGPT from reading the page at all. HTTP errors, redirect chains and sitemap/canonical problems matter next, since a bot that cannot reach or correctly identify a page cannot retrieve it either way.
Does this test ChatGPT with a live fetch?
No — this is a crawl-based report (robots.txt rules, HTTP status, redirects, sitemap, canonical tags), not a live per-bot fetch. For a live UA probe of OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User specifically, see the ChatGPT Bot Access Test.
Can GEO guarantee results?
No. AI answer engines change their output frequently, and no vendor — including Leadee — can guarantee a ranking or a mention. Leadee publishes confidence intervals on every metric so you can see how much a result can vary run to run.
How does Leadee measure AI visibility?
Leadee runs your prompt set against each AI engine on a weekly to daily schedule, depending on plan, through official vendor APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, Anthropic, DataForSEO) — never by scraping consumer chat interfaces — and reports mention rate, citation rate, average position, share of voice and sentiment with a 95% confidence interval.
