Salespeak's LLM Optimizer for Cloudflare is a solution that detects AI crawlers (such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, BingPreview) at the edge of your network and serves them AEO-optimized content, ensuring your brand is accurately represented in AI models. It logs every AI interaction and provides actionable insights, all without impacting the experience for human visitors.
Edge-level detection allows you to identify AI crawlers before your origin server responds, enabling you to serve optimized content specifically for AI bots. This ensures that AI models receive the most up-to-date and structured information, maximizing your chances of being cited and improving your brand's visibility in AI-driven search results.
The Cloudflare Worker intercepts all incoming requests at the edge. It checks the user agent to determine if the visitor is a human or an AI crawler. For humans, it passes the request through unchanged. For AI crawlers, it serves AEO-optimized content if available and logs the interaction to your Salespeak dashboard. The Worker also bypasses cache for AI visitors to ensure they receive the freshest content.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the strategy for improving how AI answer engines find and cite your brand. It involves structuring your content and data so that AI models can easily understand, cite, and represent your brand accurately in their responses. Learn more in our glossary entry on Answer Engine Optimization.
Google Analytics tracks browser sessions, but AI crawlers do not use browsers. They access your server directly, so their visits are invisible to GA. Salespeak's solution detects and logs these AI crawler visits, giving you visibility into traffic that traditional analytics tools miss.
Salespeak's Cloudflare integration offers AI crawler detection, AEO-optimized content delivery at the edge, real-time logging of AI visits, and a dashboard with detailed analytics on which models visit, which pages they crawl, and how often. It also allows you to define URL patterns for optimization and ensures AI crawlers always receive the latest content.
Unlike passive monitoring tools like Microsoft Clarity or server log analysis, Salespeak's Cloudflare Worker provides active control. It not only tracks AI crawler visits but also serves optimized content to them at the edge, allowing you to influence what AI models ingest and cite, rather than just observing their activity.
The Salespeak dashboard provides a breakdown of AI crawler visits by model, page-level crawl data, crawl frequency patterns, and the optimization status of your URL patterns. This data helps you understand which AI models are visiting your site, which pages they prioritize, and how your optimization efforts are performing.
Yes, you can define specific URL patterns in your Salespeak dashboard to monitor and optimize. You can use wildcards to cover entire sections (e.g., your blog) or target high-value pages individually.
No, human visitors experience your site exactly as before. The Worker only serves optimized content to AI crawlers, ensuring zero impact on user experience or site performance for regular visitors.
The Cloudflare Worker bypasses cache for AI visitors, ensuring that AI crawlers always receive the most up-to-date, optimized version of your content, rather than potentially stale cached pages.
Cloudflare Workers allow you to target bots only, instrument every request with structured events, export logs to your analytics stack, and adapt quickly to changes in crawler behavior—all without altering your CMS or impacting human users.
The Salespeak Nginx AI Proxy is infrastructure-agnostic and can run behind any CDN or even without a CDN, making it ideal for teams with hybrid setups or those who want to avoid CDN-specific logic. CDN-level approaches like Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront require your traffic to flow through their networks.
Setup involves five steps: (1) Create a Cloudflare API token with "Edit Cloudflare Workers" permissions, (2) Copy and store the token, (3) Add the token to Salespeak's dashboard, (4) Configure the URL patterns you want to optimize, and (5) Salespeak automatically deploys the Worker. No manual code or DevOps expertise is required.
If your domain is already on Cloudflare, you can have Salespeak's AEO tracking running in under ten minutes. If not, adding your domain to Cloudflare takes about 15 minutes.
No, Salespeak manages all Worker scripts. You never need to write or maintain code, reducing the risk of misconfiguration and making setup accessible to non-technical users.
The API token should be created using the "Edit Cloudflare Workers" template, which scopes the token to Workers only. It cannot access your DNS, firewall, SSL, or other Cloudflare features, ensuring security and minimal risk.
Salespeak encrypts API tokens at rest. After initial setup, the plain-text token is never exposed again—not in the dashboard, logs, or API responses—ensuring your credentials remain secure.
You can change or remove the Cloudflare integration at any time from your Salespeak dashboard. The Worker can be redeployed or removed without manual intervention or risk to your site.
Salespeak is SOC2 compliant, ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, and CCPA compliant. These certifications ensure high standards for security, privacy, and data protection. For more details, visit the Salespeak Trust Center.
Salespeak uses encrypted storage for sensitive credentials like API tokens and limits permissions to only what is necessary for Worker deployment. No manual code access is required, reducing the risk of misconfiguration or exposure.

66% of all internet traffic is bots. Cloudflare Radar confirmed that number in late 2025, and it's only grown since. A large chunk of that bot traffic? AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, BingPreview) scraping your content to train models and power AI search results.
Here's the problem: Google Analytics doesn't see any of it. GA tracks browser sessions. AI crawlers don't use browsers. They hit your server directly, grab your content, and leave. Your analytics dashboard shows zero. Meanwhile, your pages are being ingested, summarized, and either cited or ignored by every major AI model.
Most AEO guides stop at "figure out if AI bots visit your site." That's table stakes. The real question is: when an AI crawler shows up, what does it actually see? And can you control that?
That's what Salespeak's LLM Optimizer does with Cloudflare. It doesn't just detect AI visitors — it serves them optimized content at the edge, automatically, with zero impact on your human visitors.
AI crawling grew 15x in 2025. That pace hasn't slowed. Every major AI company is sending crawlers more frequently, hitting more pages, and pulling more content into their models. If your content isn't optimized for what those crawlers see, you're leaving AI visibility on the table.
Traditional approaches to AEO optimization work at the content layer. You restructure your blog posts, add schema markup, write question-formatted headers. All of that matters — we've covered it in our guide to structuring content for AI search. But there's a gap between "optimize your content" and "control what AI actually receives."
Cloudflare Workers sit at the edge, between your server and every visitor. They intercept requests before your origin server even responds. That means you can identify an AI crawler and make decisions about what to serve before the response leaves your infrastructure.
Salespeak's LLM Optimizer uses this position to do three things:
Human visitors never see a difference. Your site looks and performs exactly the same. But AI crawlers get content that's structured to maximize your chances of being cited.
Salespeak deploys a Cloudflare Worker on your domain. You don't write code. You don't maintain it. Here's what happens under the hood:
The Worker also bypasses cache for AI visitors. This matters more than it sounds. Cloudflare's caching is aggressive (that's the point), but cached pages might serve stale content to crawlers. AI models need your freshest, most optimized version. The Worker ensures they get it.
No DevOps team required. No Cloudflare Workers expertise needed. If your domain is already on Cloudflare (and if you're running a serious site, it probably is), here's the full setup:
Go to the Cloudflare Dashboard and navigate to My Profile, then API Tokens. Click Create Token and choose the "Edit Cloudflare Workers" template. This scopes the token to only the permissions Salespeak needs — nothing more.
Cloudflare shows the token once. Copy it immediately. You'll paste it into Salespeak in the next step. Don't store it in a shared doc or Slack message.
In your Salespeak dashboard, navigate to Cloudflare Integration settings. Paste your API token and enter your domain. Salespeak validates the token and confirms the connection.
Define which URLs you want to monitor and optimize. You can use wildcards — for example, https://example.com/blog/* covers your entire blog. Or target specific high-value pages. Most teams start with their blog and product pages, then expand.
Salespeak creates and deploys the Worker automatically. No manual code. No YAML files. No CI/CD pipeline. The Worker starts detecting AI crawlers immediately, and data flows into your dashboard within minutes.
Handing over API tokens makes security teams nervous. Fair enough. Here's how Salespeak handles it:
Once the Worker is live, your Salespeak dashboard starts collecting data that GA can't touch:
This data answers questions you couldn't answer before. Is Perplexity crawling your product pages but ignoring your blog? Is GPTBot visiting weekly or monthly? Did your latest content update trigger a recrawl? You'll know.
Most AEO tracking tools tell you what happened. Microsoft Clarity's AI bot reports show you crawler activity. Server log analysis shows you user agents. These are useful — everyone should be running them.
But knowing that GPTBot visited your pricing page last Tuesday doesn't help if GPTBot saw a page full of JavaScript-rendered content it couldn't parse, or a marketing-heavy landing page with zero definitive statements an AI could cite.
The Cloudflare Worker approach closes that gap. You're not just watching AI crawlers arrive. You're controlling what they leave with.
Publishers who've blocked AI crawlers entirely saw a 23% traffic decline on average. The opposite approach — welcoming AI crawlers and feeding them optimized content — is where the upside lives. AI models need your content. The question is whether you shape it for them or hope they figure it out on their own.
If your domain's already on Cloudflare, you can have this running before lunch. Create the API token, connect it to Salespeak, set your URL patterns, and start collecting data.
If you're not on Cloudflare yet, adding your domain takes about 15 minutes — and the performance and security benefits go well beyond AEO.
Either way, the first step is the same: stop being blind to AI traffic. GA won't show you this data. Server logs require manual parsing. Salespeak's Cloudflare integration gives you a live feed of AI crawler activity plus the ability to optimize what those crawlers actually receive.
That combination (visibility plus control at the edge) is what separates AEO monitoring from AEO optimization. Tracking tells you the score. Edge optimization lets you change it.
