More and more people no longer ask Google. They ask an answer engine: "which contractor in Leiden is good", "which personal injury lawyer can help me". They get one answer, with two or three names in it. Are you in it? Type your website and you will see in one second.
No account needed. We store nothing. You get a short list in plain language, in one second.Not just found. Recommended.
It used to be ten blue links. Now it is one answer. When someone asks ChatGPT which contractor nearby is good, they do not get a list of ten websites. They get one answer with two or three names in it. If your name is not in it, you do not exist for that customer.
Ask it eight times. Get eight different answers.
SparkToro research on the same question asked 2,961 times: the same list of names came back fewer than 1 in 100 times. That is why we look more than once, and why we say how certain each number is.
This is the result for Voorbeeldbouw, a fictional contractor in Leiden. The business does not exist. The page does, and the check is real, from 9 September 2026. No score out of a hundred. Three counts, and three sentences per point.

step 1 · the check · freeThose are the five that decide whether you appear in answers.
Contracting business, address and service area are in the hidden text for machines structured data: HomeAndConstructionBusiness.
Your server does not show a robot anything different from what a visitor sees.
Almost half of what the server sends is readable text text/html 49%. A robot does not have to wait for anything.
This way a machine can see what the page is about and where each part begins.
That is what an answer engine reads first, and what it often copies word for word.
Hi, a check shows that our page has a line asking search engines not to include it (noindex). Can you remove it? Also, there is no date of the last change and no name with the text. Can you add "updated on" with the date at the bottom, and my name as the writer?

This is the real new text for Voorbeeldbouw, written on 9 September 2026 from the page itself. Every number and every name was then checked by machine against the page. Anything that was not on the page was not filled in, but marked.
Voorbeeldbouw is a contracting business from Leiden that has worked with a permanent crew of eight skilled tradespeople since 2009.
They install a standard dormer in one day (source: section What we do). Preparation and finishing together take two to three weeks (source: section What we do). They give a five-year guarantee on the work for every job (source: section How we work). You receive a quote with a fixed price and a completion date within five working days (source: section How we work).
Yes, Voorbeeldbouw arranges the permit if one is needed.
A dormer at the back of the house usually does not need a permit (source: section Frequently asked questions). At the front a permit is needed, and they apply for it on your behalf (source: section Frequently asked questions).
Five blocks like these per page, plus the frequently asked questions in the format machines read. These five cost us two cents. The questions come from what customers in your trade really ask an answer engine.
We fetch three things: the robots file, the instruction sheet for machines and your home page. After that it is gone. No account, no email address needed.
Each point comes with the evidence: which file, which line, which response from your server. If you do not believe it, you can check it.
On our own site, a setting at our hosting provider turned out to keep four robots out, without us knowing. It is right there in our own report.
No agency, no sales pitch, no scheduled call. How we measure is on the site, with the sources.
The numbers we rely on, with their sources:
1 Aggarwal et al., KDD 2024, arXiv 2311.09735 2 Ahrefs, 137,210 domains 3 SparkToro, 2,961 prompts 4 bot documentation from OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, ByteDance, Meta and Common Crawl
The six below in one list, in plain language, with the email for your web developer included.
Checks whether the robots of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google are allowed to read your site. Fifteen robots, at a glance.
Some sites show a robot something different from what a visitor sees. Then the door is open on paper and closed in practice.
A short file that explains who you are. If you do not have one, we draft one from your own home page.
A number with its source gets quoted more often than a nice sentence. We count how many you have.
The hidden text in which your site explains itself to machines. We check whether it is there and whether it is correct.
Some sites only show their text after a script has run. A robot does not wait for that.
These are questions the way people ask them to an answer engine. Are you in the answer?
Which contractor in Leiden is reliable for a dormer?Whoever is in that answer gets the phone call. The rest do not.
Which personal injury lawyer can help after an accident at work, with no upfront costs?For personal injury, we are starting with a monthly overview of which firms get mentioned. That overview will be public.
Which dentist in Leiden is taking new patients?An answer with three names. Are you one of them?
Where can I buy a good raincoat for under a hundred euros?Here answer engines mention brands and shops by name. Or they do not.
Fine. Send that person the list. Most points are ten minutes of work.
That says nothing about ChatGPT. It reads differently and chooses differently. That is why this check exists.
You do not have to. For each point you get three sentences: what is there, why it matters, what you do.
No. The checks are free and will stay free. Only the repair and checking every month for you cost money: €149 per month, cancel any month.
Nothing. No address, no email, no result.
No. Type your address, that is all.
We rewrite the pages that matter, so that ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude can quote them. Only with what is really on your site. Whatever is missing, we ask you.
For the technical points: ready to forward, with the line numbers included.
Is the door still open? Are you mentioned, and how often? One email per month in plain language. If a lock appears on your site, you hear about it right away.
There is no ground truth for a score like that. You get counts and evidence.
We measure how often you are mentioned and tell you how certain that is. Nobody can make promises.
Every number is checked against your own page. If it is not there, we do not write it.
Cancel any month. The free checks stay free.
Type your address. That is all.
