FoxFix opens a 1-line pull request that unblocks AI crawlers — humans see your site exactly as before.

If your robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, or Google-Extended, ChatGPT and friends literally cannot read your pages when answering user questions. FoxFix fixes that with one diff.

What it does

One reviewable PR. One robots.txt diff. Zero risk to humans.

FoxFix detects every AI crawler your robots.txt is blocking, then generates a unified diff that adds a single Allow-/ rule per blocked bot. You either copy-paste the diff into your repo or — when you connect your GitHub — let FoxFix open the PR for you.

Your team reviews the PR. You merge or you don't. That's it.

How it works

Three steps, two minutes.

1. Scan

GEOFixer fetches your robots.txt and tags every disallowed AI crawler.

2. Diff

FoxFix builds a unified diff that flips Disallow:/ to Allow:/ for those bots.

3. Ship

Open a PR (with your GitHub) or copy the diff into your repo manually.

Why this matters

A surprising number of sites silently lock themselves out of AI search.

The original robots.txt was written for search engines like Googlebot. When ChatGPT and Claude added their own crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot), many sites kept the same robots.txt that blocked everything except Googlebot — accidentally locking out the AI search systems their category prospects now rely on.

Adobe, Scrunch, and Google all explicitly recommend allowing AI crawlers for AEO/GEO. The GEOFixer audit run finds these blocks and FoxFix makes the fix one click.

What changes in your repo

One file. One block of additions.

Your robots.txt gains a small block per unblocked bot:

User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /

User-agent: ChatGPT-User
Allow: /

User-agent: ClaudeBot
Allow: /

User-agent: Claude-Web
Allow: /

User-agent: PerplexityBot
Allow: /

User-agent: Google-Extended
Allow: /

Existing rules for Googlebot, Bingbot, and User-agent: * are pass-through. If your robots.txt previously had Disallow: / for these AI bots, FoxFix replaces those Disallow lines with Allow: / in the same group.

Reverting

One commit. One revert. Done.

Because FoxFix only changes robots.txt, reverting is just git revert <commit-sha> on the FoxFix PR. You're back to the prior robots.txt with no other side effects. The FoxFix dashboard records every action so you can see when each PR opened and whether it was merged.

Tip — reading the impact estimate. The "lost citations last month" number on each FoxFix card comes from your GEOFixer promoter conversations: count of losing prompts where the AI didn't recommend you × 0.5 (a conservative estimate). It's directional, not exact — the goal is the right order of magnitude so you can prioritise.

Pricing

Pro tier and up.

FoxFix is included in the Pro tier and every higher tier (Agency, Enterprise). Free accounts see a read-only diff preview and can copy it manually. Open-PR-via-GitHub-OAuth requires Pro. See current pricing →
