AI crawl budget
Your AI crawl budget, page by page
Crawl budget is the attention a crawler gives your site. AI crawlers spend theirs unevenly: a few pages get read again and again, others are barely touched. WriteWorks shows where every AI bot spends its visits, so you can tell whether that attention lands on the pages you most want cited.

Claude and MCP clients The challenge
Why AI crawl budget goes unmanaged
Crawl budget tools were built for one search crawler.
Crawl budget advice is written for Googlebot
Classic crawl budget guidance covers one search crawler. AI crawlers have their own patterns, and nothing in Search Console tells you how GPTBot or ClaudeBot divide their visits across your site.
Attention goes to the wrong pages
AI bots can spend most of their visits on tag archives, old posts or parameter URLs while your best answer content goes unread.
No way to see the skew
Without per-page crawl counts by engine, you cannot spot that one section absorbs the budget or that a new page has never been fetched.
Coverage is uneven across engines
Winning the answer on one assistant says nothing about the other nine your buyers actually ask.
The solution
How WriteWorks shows your AI crawl budget
Rank the pages, drill into intent, compare with your sitemap.
The Pages view orders your URLs by how much AI crawler attention they get, so the most-crawled pages and the neglected ones are obvious at a glance.
Open any page to see whether its visits come from citation, indexing or training bots, and which engines sent them, with the time of the last visit.
WriteWorks crawls your sitemap weekly within the scope you set, with include and exclude paths and a URL cap, so you can compare the pages you publish with the pages AI bots actually read.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything teams typically ask before getting started.
What is crawl budget?+
Crawl budget is the number of pages a crawler will fetch from your site in a given period, shaped by how much it wants your content and how much your server can serve. If the budget is spent on low-value URLs, important pages are crawled less often or not at all.
Do AI crawlers have a crawl budget?+
In effect, yes. AI crawlers do not fetch every page equally, and each engine has its own pattern. WriteWorks measures how each AI bot actually divides its visits across your pages.
How do I see which pages AI bots crawl most?+
Connect a server-side source and open the Pages view in WriteWorks. URLs are ranked by AI crawler activity, with a drill-down showing which engines and intents account for the visits.
How can I get an important page crawled?+
Make sure it is in your sitemap, linked from pages AI bots already crawl, and use IndexNow from the page analytics view in WriteWorks to request re-indexing once the domain is verified. Then watch the page's crawler activity for change.
Which plans include AI crawl budget analysis?+
AI crawler analytics is on the Growth and Enterprise plans and on agency plans, not Starter.
