Blocked from AI answers

BBC blocks the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. A placement still carries reader and search credibility, but it is unlikely to be cited in AI answers. If AI visibility is the goal, filter the directory by AI-citable.

About BBC

BBC (bbc.com) has been publishing since 1989 and covers general news for readers in the United Kingdom. On authority it has a domain rating of 93, a domain authority of 94 and links from about 826k other websites, and sits at #203 in the Tranco global ranking. It blocks the crawlers behind AI answer engines, so an article here builds reader and search credibility but is unlikely to be cited in AI answers. Every placement is quoted per case and paid into escrow; the money is released only when the live URL and a dated screenshot are posted into your case.
