    User-agent: PerplexityBot

What we do to your website

  • The questions behind a purchase

    We find out which comparisons and trade-offs customers make and which pages are missing for them.

  • Pages worth citing

    We build pages with concrete facts: sizes, materials, delivery time and terms. An answer should be able to take a correct sentence from them.

  • Access and technical setup

    Atlas checks whether PerplexityBot may read and whether titles, content and product data are in the HTML.

  • Record answers by hand

    If Perplexity is in your plan, we ask the agreed questions there each month and store answer, sources and moment.

FAQs

Answers to the questions business owners ask us most.

How do I get Perplexity to link to my website?

Perplexity decides that itself. You improve your chances with pages that answer a question fully and verifiably, with the main text in the HTML, and with a robots.txt that allows PerplexityBot. Perplexity searches the web for every question and shows the sources with the answer, but nobody can guarantee a link.

What is the difference between a mention and a source in an AI answer?

A mention is your brand or business name in the text of the answer. A source is a link to a page that supports the answer. An answer can name you without linking to you, or link to you without naming you. That is why we record them separately.

Does Perplexity use my website to train AI models?

According to Perplexity’s documentation, PerplexityBot is meant for search results and showing links in answers, not for training foundation models. There is also Perplexity-User, which fetches pages when a user asks for them; according to Perplexity, it generally does not follow robots.txt.

Does Outseen automatically track what Perplexity answers?

No. We ask the agreed questions by hand, once a month. Perplexity is included in the Scale and Lead plans. We store every answer with its sources and the time, so you can see which pages Perplexity uses. Automated or daily tracking is not part of the plans.

Why does Perplexity mention my competitor but not me?

That can have many causes: how the question is phrased, the pages Perplexity found at that moment, or what other websites write about you. Look at the sources listed with the answer; they show where the information comes from. We look with you at which questions matter and what information your website is still missing.

Which websites does Perplexity use as sources?

Perplexity searches the web for every question and shows the pages it uses with the answer. Perplexity decides which ones. Pages that answer a question fully and verifiably, with the key text in the HTML and a robots.txt that allows PerplexityBot, stand a better chance. Nobody can guarantee a link.
