AI Answer-Engine Crawl Index
Everyone argues about whether AI search sends traffic. Almost nobody measures the step before it: whether the answer engines are reading you at all. This is our own edge log, published raw and refreshed on every page load.
Over the trailing 30 days, AI answer-engine crawlers made 1 requests to this site across 1 distinct pages, from 1 distinct engines. Crawl is the prerequisite for citation: an engine that never fetches a page can never quote it, and referral traffic from AI answers lags crawl by weeks.
Crawl volume by answer engine
| Engine | Crawler tokens | Requests | Pages | Last seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI / ChatGPT | GPTBot | 1 | 1 | 2026-08-26 |
What the engines actually take
Ranked by crawler requests. The pattern is consistent with how answer engines assemble responses: pricing, benchmark and definition pages get fetched far more than marketing pages.
| Path | Requests |
|---|---|
| /pricing | 1 |
Methodology
- Collection. Every production HTTP request is inspected at the edge. Requests whose user agent matches a documented AI crawler token are recorded with the bot name, the engine it feeds, the path, and the response status. No sampling, no analytics vendor in the path.
- Exclusions. Static assets and internal API paths are dropped. Feeds, sitemaps and machine-readable files are kept — they are citation surfaces.
- Limits. User agents are self-declared and unverified, so a spoofed agent counts. Counts describe one site in one industry; treat them as a directional signal, not a market-wide rate.
- Window. Figures cover a rolling 30-day window and are recomputed on request. Generated 2026-08-27.

Make us a preferred source
Google lets you decide which publishers show up more often in Top stories. If our engineering benchmarks and open datasets are useful to you, mark NextGen Coding Company as a preferred source — it takes one click and it applies to your own results, not ours.
Note: preferred-source status is granted by readers inside Google, never by the publisher. What we control is eligibility — a dated news feed, a stable publisher identity, original reporting, and machine-readable data. All four are live on this site.
