🚨 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!)
