🚨 URGENT: Is ChatGPT Recommending Your Competitors Instead of You?

I started to build out some free tools to use as lead magnets.

Here's the first one.

Inspired by Matt Diggity post a few days ago.

Here's a snippet from Matt's post…

"Most businesses accidentally block AI bots without realizing it.

Check your robots.txt file right now. Make sure you're not blocking ChatGPTbot or OAI-SearchBot.

Many security tools started automatically blocking these in July 2025. Your site could be invisible to AI without you knowing."

Free tool i built

🤖 AI Bot Checker - Free Tool

👉 https://aibotchecker.site

What it does:

* Scans your robots.txt

* Checks 35+ AI crawlers

* Shows what's blocked vs. allowed

* Tells you EXACTLY how to fix it

The results? Eye-opening.

Big brands ARE accidentally blocking AI.

Meanwhile, competitors who allow it are getting all the AI traffic

This is lead gen gold for anyone in:

- Local services

- B2B SaaS

- E-commerce

- Professional services

Try it + let me know what you find 👇

(P.S. This is the first of several free marketing tools I'm building. Keep an eye on the newsletter, we will add a new one weekly,
or
join the WhatsApp group for a free Daily Tool for the next 30 days!)

Want the Unfair Advantage?

If you're serious about staying ahead of the curve (instead of constantly playing catch-up), you need more than just intel. You need:

The marketers making serious money aren't just reading about these strategies – they're implementing them with proven systems that actually work.

Remember, the difference between you and the marketers who are crushing it right now isn't intelligence or resources. It's speed of implementation. They see what's working and they move on it immediately.

Which strategy are you implementing first?
