What the platform says
OpenAI documents OAI-SearchBot for surfacing sites in ChatGPT search results and distinguishes it from GPTBot, which relates to model training controls.
What it does not say
Allowing a crawler does not guarantee that a page will be cited or ranked for a particular answer.
Ozmov practice
Keep important pages publicly crawlable, maintain clear canonical URLs and provide useful content that can stand on its own when retrieved.
Verify it yourself
Where an official source exists, use the source above or search the source title directly. Ozmov separates documented platform guidance from our practical interpretation.
