Optimize Content • Protect Data • Achieve AI Visibility
AI is the new search engine. Crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 45+ other LLM providers are indexing your content to power AI search and chatbot responses. Mastering their behavior is the new frontier of SEO (LLMO).
By analyzing this data, you can:
See exactly which pages GPTBot or Claude are accessing for content consumption.
Discover which content types and pages are most prioritized by LLM systems.
Use crawl frequency to fine-tune publishing schedules and technical SEO.
Quickly identify and manage unwanted scrapers and resource-draining activity.
LLM Bot Tracker is the only resource that tracks 50+ AI crawlers from every major tech company (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.). The table below provides the essential technical details—including User Agents and robots.txt commands—you need to manage your content visibility.
| Bot Name | Operator | Description | User-Agent String | Respects robots.txt |

Everything you need to know about AI crawlers, LLMO, and the LLM Bot Tracker plugin
LLMO is the process of strategically optimizing your content to be accurately found, interpreted, and used by AI search engines (like Perplexity) and LLM training systems (like GPT-4 and Claude). Tracking the crawlers (using our directory and plugin) is the first critical step to effective LLMO.
Our database currently tracks over 50 unique AI/LLM crawlers, including agents from major tech companies (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta) and specialized AI tools. We update the list weekly to ensure we have the most comprehensive data available.
You use your website's robots.txt file. Every bot in our directory provides the exact User-agent string you need. To block a bot, add the following to your robots.txt:
User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /
To allow a bot, ensure no Disallow rule is present for that User-agent.
Google Analytics explicitly filters out non-human bot traffic and focuses only on human visitors. Server logs are technically complex, difficult to read, and often don't clearly categorize or verify the AI bots. The LLM Bot Tracker focuses exclusively on identifying, verifying, and categorizing these specific AI crawlers.
Yes. AI systems are increasingly being used to answer search queries. If you don't know which AI systems are indexing your content, you are "flying blind" in the new AI era of search. Tracking is essential for future-proofing your content strategy.
No. The plugin is designed for immediate use. Simply install and activate the free plugin, and it immediately starts tracking all AI crawler activity in the background. You can view the collected data anytime at Tools > LLM Crawler Logs in your WordPress admin.
Absolutely not. The plugin is extremely lightweight and is built to run efficiently in the background, typically adding less than 0.01 seconds to page load time, ensuring zero impact on your human visitor experience.
Yes, the plugin is 100% privacy-first. It exclusively tracks identified AI/LLM crawlers. It does not track, store, or process any human visitor data, making it compliant with global privacy regulations.
All data collected by the LLM Bot Tracker is stored locally in your WordPress database. We do not use any external APIs, services, or third-party dependencies. You have complete ownership and control over your data.
Yes. The core bot detection happens at the initial WordPress processing level, before most caching layers are applied. It is designed to work seamlessly with all major caching solutions, and we provide configuration guides for advanced setups.
Yes! The plugin includes a feature to export your AI bot logs as a CSV file. You can choose to export the complete dataset or only data filtered by date, bot name, or IP address.
