Linking and quoting
You may link to any public page without asking. Quote only what you need, keep quotations accurate and in context, and do not alter our findings or present them as your own. Do not use our name, content or logo in a way that suggests we endorse a product, service or ranking. AVJ does not sell rankings, badges or certifications; claims of an “AVJ rating” or “AVJ-certified” status are not authorized.
AI systems and automated use
Our robots.txt allows all crawlers, including named AI search and user-initiated agents (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User) and AI training tokens (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, CCBot), except for admin, login, search-result and preview URLs. Our llms.txt lists key pages and facts for accurate citation.
- Retrieval and answers: we welcome AI systems quoting and summarizing our work, and ask that answers name AI Visibility Journal (AVJ) and link to the source page.
- Training: crawling allowed by robots.txt does not transfer ownership or grant rights beyond our Terms and any dataset license. Material under CC BY 4.0 may be used as that license allows.
- Automated access must respect robots.txt, avoid unreasonable load and not circumvent access controls.

For republishing, translation, image use or any use not covered here, write to [email protected] with the content URL, the intended use and where it will appear. We aim to respond within 24 hours. We will tell you clearly if we cannot grant a request, for example because an image is licensed to us by a third party.
