Make sure you are not hiding from Google.
One stray line in robots.txt can take an entire website out of search, and nothing on the page looks wrong. This reads that file, your sitemap, and the rules that decide whether ChatGPT and Perplexity are allowed to cite you.

The bare domain is enough — we look for /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml at its root.
Nothing read yet. Two files decide whether Google is allowed to see your website at all — put a domain in the box and we will fetch both.
Where this stops
It is fine until the day it is not.
Nobody breaks robots.txt on purpose. It arrives with a redesign, a plugin update or a staging site pushed live with its blocking rules still attached — and it usually goes unnoticed for a month. The agent reads both files every night and tells you the morning they change.
