01Why Sydney businesses are asking this now
Sydney is Australia's most contested market, and its corporate, finance and legal sites tend to sit behind serious security infrastructure, exactly the WAF and CDN configurations that most often block AI retrieval crawlers without anyone deciding to. In a city where a single AI-cited competitor can take the enquiry, being quietly unreadable is an expensive accident. The larger and more locked-down the site, the more likely there is a gap between what its robots.txt says and what its firewall actually does.
02Who this is for in Sydney
Designed for commercially aware mid-market and enterprise teams with a live website, an internal marketing or development owner and a practical reason to verify AI access.
SEO Lead
Evidence that separates technical access from authority, prompt visibility and answer selection, so the next investment targets the right layer.
Developer or platform team
Affected layer, supporting evidence, required change, implementation priority and verification criteria in one actionable handoff.
Agency or multi-site team
Independent, repeatable evidence for client sites or web estates, with volume options where several origins require review.
03What the AI Access Audit checks
The audit is a fixed-price, evidence-backed test of whether AI systems can actually reach your website. Not an opinion, not a guess. The observed response from every crawler, in a report you can act on.
Crawler policy — major AI identities
Your robots.txt is graded across the configured crawler panel, including major OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google and Microsoft agents. Retrieval, user-fetch, search and training controls are kept distinct.
Firewall & CDN behaviour
What happens when our identified audit crawler connects: clean response, challenge page, 403, redirect or timeout. We compare that live result with each provider's declared robots.txt policy without impersonating verified crawlers.
llms.txt & machine guidance
Whether you publish AI guidance files, whether they are valid, and whether they match your actual policy.
Structured data & readability
Schema markup, entity identification, canonical hygiene. The signals that decide whether AI systems can understand what they read.

05The research behind it
Digital Dominator applies research-informed crawler-access analysis informed by the independently published PTODA C01 AI Crawler Access Study. PTODA analysed 2,699 sampled rows across five national cohorts—Australia, the United States, Great Britain, Singapore and India—representing 2,652 distinct domains. Its findings show why simplistic allowed/blocked headlines can mislead. The commercial audit applies that evidence discipline to your website, separating declared policy from observed Digital Dominator access and identifying what should be fixed.

06Common questions
Our site is behind a WAF and CDN. Does that block AI?
Frequently, yes, and without anyone choosing it. Enterprise firewalls and CDNs can challenge or refuse automated retrieval even when robots.txt appears permissive. The Full Audit separately tests what happens when Digital Dominator's identified audit crawler connects, then compares that live result with the declared crawler policies.
Do you need to be in Sydney to run the audit?
No. It is performed remotely with an identified crawler. Sydney businesses get the same evidence-grade report without an on-site visit.
Is blocking AI training the same as blocking AI search?
No, and the distinction matters. Training crawlers like GPTBot collect content for models; retrieval crawlers like OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot fetch pages so assistants can cite you today. Blocking training can be a legitimate choice; blocking retrieval can prevent assistants from citing you. The audit grades them separately.
