AI crawler
PerplexityBot
Also: Perplexity crawler, Perplexity user agent, Perplexity-User
Perplexity searches the web on most questions, so a newly published page can be cited once it has been crawled.
As with other search crawlers, access is eligibility, not a boost. Whether Perplexity names a brand depends on what the brand's pages say and on the third party sources Perplexity leans on for that question.
