About the product#
Does AgentFi modify my website?#
No. AgentFi works on a copy of the content and serves it through a proxy that sits in front of your site. Your original code and content are never touched. If you disconnect the integration, everything returns to its previous state.
Do human visitors see something different?#
No. The proxy tells callers apart: AI bots get the optimized HTML; people get your original site. In Cloudflare Worker mode there is an added SEO boost (JSON-LD and meta tag injection into the head) that does not change what the person reads.
Do I need Cloudflare?#
It is not mandatory. Cloudflare Worker is the recommended mode because of its full feature parity, but you can self-host the proxy in your own Nginx or Apache. See Integration.
About usage#
What is the difference between an optimization and a token?#
An optimization is an AI page rewrite. A token is the currency for every other kind of LLM work: visibility queries, scheduled runs and reputation analysis. The detail is in Plans, tokens and optimizations.
How much does it cost to run all my queries?#
One token per active query, per configured engine. With 40 queries and 4 engines, 160 tokens per run.
Does crawling spend balance?#
No. Crawling and re-crawling a site spends neither optimizations nor tokens. Only the AI rewrite and the engine queries spend anything.
What happens if I run out of tokens?#
On paid plans, the additional spending is billed as extra usage at your plan's per-token rate. On the Free plan there is no extra usage: scheduled runs pause until the next period.
Can I cap my spending?#
Yes, for auto-optimization: it has a monthly token cap field. For visibility tests, the controls are the schedule cadence and the number of active queries.
About optimization#
Why do I have 289 pages but only 45 optimized?#
Because crawling and optimization are two different steps. The remaining 244 are scraped: their content is stored, but it has not been rewritten yet. Use Optimize All or turn on auto-optimization. See Key concepts.
How often should I re-optimize?#
Only when the content changes. Auto-optimization takes care of spotting new and changed pages; it does not reprocess anything that has not changed.
Can I leave specific pages out?#
Yes. Exclude them from Pages. Excluded pages stay out of the proxy and out of the discovery files. It is the right call for checkout flows, admin pages and internal content.
Can I give the model instructions?#
Yes, at two levels: custom optimization rules for the whole site, and specific instructions when re-optimizing a page with Update content.
About visibility#
My brand visibility is high but discovery is low. Is that wrong?#
It is the most common pattern and it does not indicate any failure. It means the models know you when handed your name, but do not recommend you to anyone who does not know you yet. Discovery visibility is the growth lever.
Why do results change between tests?#
AI engines are not deterministic. Look at the trend across several runs, not at one isolated test.
What does “Found at #3” mean?#
Your site was cited and came third in the engine's list of sources. Lower numbers are better.
How many queries should I have?#
Enough to cover your main topics without blowing up the cost. Remember that every query is multiplied by the number of engines on each run. Prioritize discovery queries: they are the ones that measure growth.
About traffic#
Why is almost all my referral traffic Unknown LLM?#
Because AI platforms frequently strip the Referer header. Those visits are real; only the source label is missing. See LLM referral traffic.
Is the From LLM (est.) column real data?#
It is an estimate, not a count: user-initiated requests from AI assistants, multiplied by a conservative click-through rate. Treat it as an order of magnitude.
Why is /agentfi-sitemap the most requested path?#
It is the sitemap AgentFi serves. Crawlers poll it regularly to detect changes. It is the expected behaviour.
How long before I see results?#
Bot visits usually start within days. Mentions in model answers take longer, because they depend on each provider's indexing cycles. Set a baseline with a first test run and compare week over week.
About the account#
Can I change the dashboard language?#
Yes, with the switcher in the top bar or under Account Settings → Language. The choice is stored in your profile.
How do I give a colleague access?#
Under Team: invite them, then grant access to the sites they need, at read or read & write level.
What happens if I delete a site?#
Its pages, its queries and its entire result history are deleted too. It cannot be undone. If you only want to pause the work, turn off auto-optimization and the scheduled tests.
