AI Search Tools

Free AI search tools: can ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity read your site?

Back to top ↑

AI answers are built from text a crawler could read. If your prices, services or opening hours only appear after JavaScript runs, most AI crawlers never see them, and a competitor with the same facts in plain HTML gets cited instead.

The System

One system, one business case nobody can dismantle

Back to top ↑

They were built to run in sequence, because that is how I run real engagements. The growth model answers how big is the prize? The mapping tool turns it into an editorial plan. The ROI calculator answers can we afford to win it? The metrics selector makes sure you report progress in numbers your stakeholders are actually measured on. And for online stores, the ecommerce optimiser fixes the pages that actually take the money.

1 · Forecast

Size it from competitor reality

Anchor the opportunity to traffic your competitors already earn, presented as a probability range that survives scrutiny.

2 · Plan

Map every keyword to a journey stage

Sort keywords into Learn, Research, Buy, and Use, so every article speaks to a real person at a real moment.

3 · Prove

Model the payback per article

Run the plan through honest costs and realistic ramps to get the break even month and return multiple.

4 · Measure

Report what your boss is paid on

Swap vanity metrics for a 3 to 5 metric scorecard that connects your SEO work to real business outcomes.

5 · Optimise

Fix the pages that take the money

Check each product and category template for Google and AI search, and hand developers fixes built from the page’s own data.

The Promise

What makes these tools different

Back to top ↑

They are personal, not generic. Every tool starts from your business: your audience, your customers' frustrations, your real costs, your actual competitors, your actual pages. A template gives everyone the same answer; these give you yours.

They are honest. Medians instead of means, non-linear ramps instead of hockey sticks, fully loaded costs instead of flattering ones, confidence bands instead of single shiny numbers, and schema drafts that leave a blank rather than guess.

They are free, and private where they can be. The planning tools run entirely in your browser: nothing you enter is stored, tracked, or sent anywhere. The Ecommerce SEO Optimiser has to fetch and test your live page, so it runs on my server. You see your scores and top fixes without signing up, and a free account unlocks the full report and saves it, which you can download or delete at any time.

None of these started life as marketing. Each one started as a spreadsheet I built at some unreasonable hour because a client needed a budget signed, a content plan defended, or a forecast that would survive a CFO. I still run every client engagement through this exact system. Publishing them free is the deal: you get the tools, and if they help you, you will remember who built them.

Why I give these away

Tools are how I think. If a free tool saves you a week of spreadsheet wrestling, we both win: you get the output, and I get a reader who knows exactly what working with me looks like.

And if a tool ever falls short for your situation, tell me. The fastest way these get better is people emailing me real edge cases from real businesses.

FAQ

Quick answers before you dive in

Back to top ↑
Are these SEO tools really free?

Yes. No paywalls, no trials that expire, no "premium" version hiding the good parts. The planning tools need no signup at all. The Ecommerce SEO Optimiser shows your scores and top fixes without signing up; a free account, with Google or email, unlocks the full report and saves it.

Do you store or see the data I enter?

Not in the planning tools: they run entirely in your browser, and your competitor lists, costs, conversion rates, keywords and metrics never leave your device. The Ecommerce SEO Optimiser is different because it has to fetch and test a live page: it stores the reports you run in your account so you can come back to them, and you can download or delete them, or your whole account, at any time. The AI Crawler Checker fetches the page you enter once to test it and stores nothing.

Which tool should I start with?

Use the picker in the tools section, or follow the system order: the SEO Growth Model Calculator if you need budget, the Content Mapping Tool if you need to know what to publish, the Content ROI Calculator if you need a payback date, the SEO Metrics Selector if you need to report results your stakeholders trust, the Ecommerce SEO Optimiser if your product or category pages aren't ranking or showing up in AI answers, and the AI Crawler Checker if you want to know whether ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can read any page on your site.

Which tool checks my product and category pages?

The Ecommerce SEO Optimiser. Paste one product or category URL and it checks crawlability, schema, page speed and content for Google, plus GEO: whether AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Mode can read, quote and recommend the page. It works with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce and custom builds.

How do I check if ChatGPT can read my website?

Use the free AI Crawler Checker. Pick your industry and page type, enter a URL, and it fetches the page as GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot without running JavaScript. It shows whether your prices, services, stock and contact details are in the raw HTML, whether a firewall or robots.txt blocks the bot, and what to fix first.

What does "highly personalised" actually mean?

Each tool works from your situation before it calculates anything: who your audience is, what a conversion is worth to you, who your real competitors are, which stakeholder you need to convince, or which page you want to fix. The outputs come from your answers and your pages, so two businesses using the same tool get genuinely different results.

Can I request a new tool or report a problem?

Please do. Email me@zeeshanbashir.com with what you're trying to solve. Several improvements to these tools came directly from people describing real edge cases.
