QueryTrace Audit is a free web utility designed to help website owners, developers, and marketers verify whether artificial intelligence crawlers and language models can properly discover and read their websites.

Before evaluating how large language models represent or recommend a brand, it is essential to ensure baseline technical accessibility. QueryTrace Audit automates this audit process by evaluating critical website components and crawler accessibility rules. Specifically, the tool:

Analyzes Technical Directives: Inspects your robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemap files for proper configuration and AI discoverability.
Simulates AI Crawlers: Actively tests whether major AI bots, including GPTBot and ClaudeBot, are able to reach and read your homepage.
Queries LLM Baseline Knowledge: Checks what Google's Gemini model already knows about your company with web browsing disabled to establish baseline pre-trained awareness.

Each identified issue or finding is clearly prioritized with the specific evidence supporting it, allowing site administrators to resolve crawler blocks effectively. QueryTrace Audit requires no account creation or signup and is completely free to use.
