Can IA help — https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-microwave/?

Yes — with some work

Yes — with some work. First we'd open up AI bot access (a policy/edge change on your side), then layer in the commerce signals that earn citations and clicks.

Are AI bots reaching you? AI search bots are blocked (gptbot, chatgpt_user, oai_searchbot, claudebot) — you can't be cited in AI answers at all right now.

Are your links coming through? Your commerce links are legible to AI crawlers.

Implementation friction: Low — you're on Fastly, so IA deploys via an edge connector with no changes to your site.

Citation bots blocked at publisher edge

Publisher bot policy blocks the AI search indexes. IA enrichment requires the publisher to allow these bots first. See bot accessibility for detail.

What AI extracts today vs with IA enrichment

The gap between these columns is the enrichment IA layers on top of the page for AI extractors. Edge-level blocking is a separate dimension — see the bot-accessibility section.

AI Bot Today — During Live Search

Citation bots cannot reach this URL

oai_searchbot 403 · claude_searchbot 403

This reflects the publisher's bot-management policy at their CDN/WAF. IA does not control publisher edge policy and does not unblock crawlers. Enrichment only applies once the publisher allows AI search bots.

AI bot — with IA enrichment

IA enrichment requires citation bots to reach the page first. Not applicable on this URL until publisher policy allows AI search bots.

Surface — do AI models cite this publisher?

Each model is queried twice — with web search off (training memory) and on (live fetch). The diff shows whether your AI presence is stale, current, or absent.
