AI Visibility Checker for Game Studios
A free AI readiness checker for game studios. Check whether ChatGPT's and other AI search crawlers can read your website or your services page, get the buyer questions to ask ChatGPT yourself, and build the fact line to put on your site. It reads HTML and robots.txt; it never asks ChatGPT anything.
The signals come from 60 ChatGPT answers collected on 24 September 2026 (20 buyer questions, 3 runs each, web search on): when ChatGPT named a studio, 68% of those lines cited the studio's own website, and it stated the studio's services in 57–77% of them and its location in 85–92% on country questions. Passing every check does not guarantee ChatGPT names you.

Check your studio website
Reads your homepage, your robots.txt and up to four pages linked from the homepage, and reports nine signals. On 25 September 2026 we ran the same check over all 520 studio websites then listed here; the census shows how your result compares.
Check a services page
In the 60 ChatGPT answers we collected on 24 September 2026 (20 buyer questions, 3 runs each, web search on), services pages were 152 of the 255 citations of studios' own websites; homepages were the other 103. Give the address of your services page, or any one page, and the checker reads it: robots.txt for that path, noindex, text in the HTML, and whether it states your services, location, engines, credits, team size and founding year.
Ask ChatGPT yourself: the questions buyers ask
Tick what your studio sells, where it is and what it works in. You get the same 8 buyer questions and 2 questions by name that the AI Visibility report asks ChatGPT, built by the same rules. What you enter stays in your browser; a question goes to ChatGPT only when you click Ask ChatGPT.
How to ask: use a new temporary chat for each question, so your saved memory and past chats don't shape the answer, and keep web search on. Answers change between runs, so ask each question more than once before you read anything into it.
Tick at least one service, or give a country or your studio's name, to see the questions.
The AI Visibility plan asks these same questions three times every month, records who was named and which sources were read, and gives you a fix list.
What it won't do: make ChatGPT recommend you. Paying doesn't change what ChatGPT says.
See the AI Visibility planYour fact line
In the 60 ChatGPT answers we collected on 24 September 2026 (20 buyer questions, 3 runs each, web search on), a studio ChatGPT named was described by what it does, where it is, its size and its engines, and sometimes its credits. This builds that line from the services, country and engines above plus the fields below, in the order the studio cards on this site show it.
The line shows the first two.
Tick a service or fill in a field to see your line.
Put this sentence on your homepage and services page. Your listing here shows the same line.

- AI search crawlers allowed
- robots.txt lets OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, Bingbot and Googlebot read your homepage and services page (or, in the page check, the page you gave). Groups are read the way crawlers read them: a group naming a bot replaces the * group for that bot.
- The page loads and can be indexed
- The page answers 200 to a plain request and carries no noindex, in a meta tag or an X-Robots-Tag header. A 403 usually means a firewall rule that may block AI crawlers too.
- Text in the HTML
- The words on the page are in the HTML itself, not drawn by JavaScript afterwards. Under 50 words of server-rendered text reads as an empty page to a crawler that does not run scripts.
- Services named
- Concrete game services named in text: 2D or 3D art, animation, co-development, porting, QA, audio, localization, UI/UX, VFX, full-cycle development and so on. The website check also looks for a services page linked from the homepage.
- Location
- A city or country stated in text.
- Engines and tools
- Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Spine, Blender, Maya and similar, written as words rather than logos.
- Credits or clients
- Named clients, game titles or shipped counts in text. A portfolio page with only images counts as half.
- Team size or founding year
- "A team of 35 artists", "founded in 2016".
- Listed in this directory (website check only)
- A listing here whose website matches yours, and which of its fact-line fields (city, country, size, founding year, services, engines, known-for line) are empty.
Why these: in the 24 September 2026 answers, when ChatGPT cited a studio's own site it cited a services page 152 times and a homepage 103 times, and the facts it stated about named studios were services, location, size, engines and credits, never a price. The AI visibility overview has the full findings, and the guide explains how to fix each one.
What this checker can't see
It is an HTML and robots.txt check, not a ChatGPT query: nothing on this page asks ChatGPT anything, so no result here says whether ChatGPT names your studio. For who ChatGPT named on 24 September 2026, look up the answers we stored that day. It also can't see firewall or CDN rules that block AI crawlers by user agent (it reads robots.txt, not your firewall), pages it did not reach, or text inside images. The website check reads at most your homepage and four linked pages; the page check reads the one page you give it. Both look for services, places and tools in English, so a page written only in another language will show fewer of them than it has.

Frequently asked questions
Can ChatGPT see my website?
It can read a page when robots.txt lets OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User in, the page answers 200 without a noindex, and its text is in the HTML rather than drawn by JavaScript afterwards. The website and page checks here test exactly those. A firewall or CDN rule that blocks bots by user agent can still stop it, and this checker cannot see those rules.
Does passing every check mean ChatGPT will recommend my studio?
No. Nobody can promise that, and answers change from one run to the next. The checks are the signals present in the studios ChatGPT did name, plus the conditions for an AI crawler to read a site at all. A studio that passes them has removed the reasons it could not be named.
Is this an AI visibility score?
No. It counts which signals are on your site: nine in the website check, eight in the page check. Whether ChatGPT names your studio depends on the question asked and on what else it finds. To see what it answers, ask it the buyer questions under "Ask ChatGPT yourself", or look up the answers we stored on 24 September 2026.
Why ask ChatGPT in a temporary chat?
ChatGPT can use your saved memory and earlier chats when it answers. A temporary chat does not, so its answer is closer to what a buyer who has never talked to it about your studio would get. Keep web search on, and ask each question more than once: answers change between runs.
I blocked GPTBot. Is that why the robots.txt check failed?
Not by itself. GPTBot is the training crawler, and blocking it is reported but never fails the check. The check fails when robots.txt blocks OAI-SearchBot or ChatGPT-User, or several of the other search crawlers.
Do you store the website I check?
No. The check runs, the result is shown to you, and nothing is saved: no database row, and the address is not written to our logs by the checker. The questions and the fact line are built in your browser; what you type there is not sent to us. Checks are rate-limited to 10 an hour per visitor.
