About the EirvantaGEOAudit crawler
EirvantaGEOAudit is the fetcher behind Eirvanta's free AI Visibility Scorecard. If it appeared in your server logs, someone ran an audit of your website — this page explains exactly what was fetched, and how to block it if you'd rather we didn't.
- Visits a site only when a person requests an audit of it — it never roams.
- Fetches robots.txt, llms.txt, the sitemap, and up to 12 pages, once, politely.
- Identifies as
EirvantaGEOAudit/1.0; block it by user agent at your WAF. - Contact: hello@eirvanta.com
What is EirvantaGEOAudit?
EirvantaGEOAudit is the fetcher for the AI Visibility Scorecard, a tool
that checks how readable a website is to AI systems. It is
not a crawler that roams the web: it only visits a site when
a person explicitly requests an audit of that site, similar to a
user-directed fetcher like ChatGPT-User or
Claude-User.
It identifies itself with this User-Agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; EirvantaGEOAudit/1.0; +https://scorecard.eirvanta.com/crawler)
What does it fetch?
An audit reads a small, fixed set of things from your site and nothing else — no assets, no scripts executed, no form submissions:
/robots.txt,/llms.txtand your sitemap — to report how AI crawlers are permitted to read the site.- The audited page plus up to 12 representative pages chosen from the sitemap, with a pause of just under a second between fetches.
Each audit is a single pass. Results are cached, so repeat requests for the same site within 24 hours don't refetch anything.
Why did it retry as a browser?
If a server refuses the EirvantaGEOAudit user agent, the tool makes one retry with a standard browser user agent. That isn't an attempt to sneak past your policy — it's how the audit distinguishes "this site blocks bots" (a finding the site owner is shown prominently) from "this site is down". The block itself is always reported in the scorecard.
How do I block it?
Refuse the user agent at your web server, CDN or WAF — for example in nginx:
if ($http_user_agent ~* "EirvantaGEOAudit") { return 403; }
Audits of your site will then report it as inaccessible to the audit agent. If you'd rather your domain weren't audited at all, email us.
