How to recognize our request
AURA-Audit/1.0 (+https://aurageo.io/bot)AURA-Audit respects robots.txt, limits crawl speed and volume, and does not enter private sections. Accessibility with a User-Agent resembling Googlebot or OAI-SearchBot is checked separately as a technical test; this test does not count as a visit by the provider’s real crawler.
How to manage access
To restrict crawling, add a rule for AURA-Audit in robots.txt. Do not allow server access based only on a User-Agent name: any client can send it. Verify genuine provider requests using official IP ranges or DNS verification.
User-agent: AURA-Audit
Disallow: /private/What reports show
Reports save actual URLs, HTTP codes, discovered content and the check time. An AURA GEO crawl does not mean indexing in Google, Bing or AI. Search engine statuses and referrals are shown only when the corresponding source is available.
| System and crawler | Purpose and verification | Primary source |
|---|---|---|
ChatGPTOAI-SearchBot · ChatGPT-User | OAI-SearchBot discovers pages for search; ChatGPT-User opens pages in response to a user action.

ClaudeClaude-SearchBot · Claude-User · ClaudeBot | Search, page fetching at a user's request and training have different purposes and different User-Agents.A User-Agent name is treated as an unverified observation until separate evidence confirms the request's identity. | Documentation |
Bing / Copilotbingbot | Bing crawling is counted separately from appearance in a Copilot answer. A search crawler visit alone does not verify citation.Reverse DNS and forward resolution back to the original address, or Bingbot's official verification tool. | DocumentationVerification / IP ranges 1 |
AI referrals
AURA GEO classification rules match the referring domain against the table below. These are referral events, not question volumes. A browser or app may omit Referer — in that case the source remains direct/other. Unique people are not calculated.
| Source | Referer domains recognized by AURA GEO |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT | chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com |
| Gemini | gemini.google.com, bard.google.com |
| Claude | claude.ai |
| Perplexity | perplexity.ai, www.perplexity.ai |
| Grok | grok.com, www.grok.com |
| Copilot | copilot.microsoft.com, copilot.com |
