You already pay for three tools. Here is the gap between them.
A rank tracker tells you where you sit. Analytics tells you what happened. A heatmap tells you where people clicked. None of them can tell you whether an AI system can read the page at all — and that is the question your clients started asking this year.
| Capability | CRO9 | SEO suites | Analytics | CRO tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tells you if GPTBot and ClaudeBot can read the pageThe question clients started asking in 2026, and the one nobody can answer from a rank tracker.· Six crawlers probed live, with the CAUSE of a refusal — a firewall rule and a robots line need different fixes. | Yes | No | No | No |
| Names what is blocking each crawler"Blocked" is a symptom. Cloudflare, robots.txt and an origin rule are three different afternoons of work. | Yes | No | No | No |
| Behavioural data from your own siteRage clicks, dead clicks, form hesitation — the 95% who left without converting.· GA4 records events; it does not tell you a form field is where people give up. | Yes | No | Partly | Yes |
| Your Search Console data scored into a task listPositions are a lagging number. The work is deciding which page to touch on Monday. | Yes | Partly | No | No |
| Publishes the fix to the siteMost tools stop at the recommendation. The recommendation is not the job.· WordPress and Next.js today, with a human approval unless you turn that off per site. | Yes | No | No | Partly |
| Your brand and your domain on the client dashboardThe client should see your agency, not your vendor.· Most tools white-label the PDF. The dashboard the client logs into is the one that matters. | Yes | Partly | No | Partly |
| Usage-billed API you can build onPut the scan in your own onboarding, your own audit deck, your own product.· SEO suites sell API credits at enterprise tiers. This is metered from the first call. | Yes | Partly | No | No |
| Priced per client, not per seatSeat pricing punishes an agency for having a team. | Yes | No | Yes | No |
Categories, not named products — capabilities move, and a table naming a competitor is out of date the week they ship. Every CRO9 column is something you can verify in a free account.

Run all three tools on the same client site
Then run ours. The AI-crawler column is the one you will not be able to fill from anywhere else — and it takes ten seconds and no login to check.
