Added Perplexity-User Check

Michael Buckbee

AI Search Console now checks for Perplexity-User bot.

SEO used to be simple. You’d build a site, get indexed by GoogleBot, and then you’d wait for the traffic to come in.

Now, not only are new AI-powered search engines like Perplexity indexing your site, but they’re sending a bot to read your site and make decisions about whether or not to include it in answer to a person in real time.

Making it incredibly important that your site isn’t inadvertently blocking these bots from reading your site.

To help with this, we’ve added a new check to the AI Search Console to see if your site can be read in real-time by their Perplexity-User'bot as well as being indexed by PerplexityBot` indexer.

Even better, the AI Search Console will check for 20 additional AI search bots from Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Meta, and more.

If you’re an existing Knowatoa user, you can check your site’s status from the “AI Search Console” on your dashboard.
