What does “restricted” mean?
Restricted means the bot is not fully blocked, but robots.txt still
disallows important paths. The site may still be partly readable,
but access is not fully open.
If robots.txt is missing, is my site open?
Usually yes. A missing robots.txt file generally means public
crawling is open unless the site is blocked another way.
Does open crawler access guarantee AI visibility?
No. Open access only removes one source of technical friction. AI can
still skip a business when profile accuracy, page clarity, reviews,
schema, or other trust signals are weak.
Do I need Search Console or analytics to use this tool?
No. This tool only checks public pages and public files like
robots.txt and sitemap.xml.
What should I do if crawlers are allowed but AI still does not mention my business?
That is where the full Geo It Is audit is useful. We test buyer
questions and connect the result to likely causes like weak business
details, thin pages, low review freshness, or other trust gaps.
