In short

Claude visibility is how often Anthropic's Claude names or cites your business when it searches the web for an answer. It depends on access for Anthropic's crawlers, pages that state facts plainly without needing JavaScript, and a brand that is described consistently across trusted sites.

Why it matters now

Anthropic documents separate agents for training (ClaudeBot), search indexing (Claude-SearchBot) and user-requested fetches (Claude-User). Each can be allowed or blocked on its own, and each affects a different part of your visibility.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which Anthropic crawler matters most for visibility?

Claude-SearchBot supports search results and Claude-User fetches pages when a person asks Claude to. ClaudeBot relates to training. Blocking training while allowing search is a common choice, and we can set it that way.

Does Claude read JavaScript-heavy sites?

AI fetchers generally work best with content present in the HTML. We check your key pages with JavaScript turned off, because that is close to what many AI systems see.
