AI robot visits (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) are invisible. Yet if you want to be cited by generative AI, you need to know if and when they crawl your site. Log analysis is the only way to **see the invisible** and understand how LLMs consume your content. Each robot identifies itself via its **User-Agent** in HTTP requests. GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Google-Extended... We configure your infrastructure to automatically parse these User-Agents and categorize them. Thus, you know precisely which pages are read by which AI, and how often. It depends on your infrastructure and budget. **Cloudflare Enterprise** offers the most complete native logs. For lower plans, we use custom **Cloudflare Workers**. **sGTM** is ideal if you already have a Server-Side infrastructure. For advanced analysis, **Botify** or **OnCrawl** remain industry references. We benchmark together the best option. Cost varies depending on traffic volume and chosen solution. An **sGTM + BigQuery** configuration can cost a few tens of euros per month for a medium site. **Cloudflare Workers** is very economical (often free for small volumes). **Botify/OnCrawl** are more expensive but offer advanced business features. We size the solution to your real needs. Yes, via the **robots.txt** file or HTTP headers. But be careful: blocking GPTBot means ChatGPT can no longer cite your content. It's a strategic decision. Log analysis gives you the visibility needed to **decide knowingly** which bots to allow or block, and on which sections of your site. A basic setup (sGTM + User-Agent parsing) can be operational in **1-2 weeks**. A complete configuration with dashboard, alerts and BigQuery export typically takes **3-4 weeks**. Initial audit and benchmark are included to ensure the chosen solution matches your needs.
