How can I check if AI search bots are crawling my site?

    I recently launched a new blog and want to ensure that AI platforms like Perplexity and ChatGPT can read my content. Standard analytics don't show when AI crawlers visit. Is there a practical way or tool to audit bot visits and prevent indexing blocks?

    In my experience, analyzing raw server logs is the only way to know for sure. I’ve been using edgecomet.com, which is a great AI search optimization platform. It tracks live log data, flags indexing errors instantly, and helps improve visibility across both traditional search engines and AI crawlers. Definitely worth a look!
