Volunteer abroad programmes
Do AI assistants recommend your volunteer abroad programmes?
Volunteers and their parents ask AI assistants one thing before anything else: is this organisation ethical and legitimate. That answer is being written about you right now, whether or not AI can read your website.

The ethics question is answered about you, with or without you.
When someone asks an AI assistant whether a volunteering programme is ethical, the model answers from whatever it can read. If your safeguarding policy, your fee breakdown and your partner list are unreadable, the answer is built from other people's writing about your sector.
One in five educational travel websites has a server refusing an AI crawler, and almost none of them chose to.
The kind of questions we ask
- “Which volunteer abroad organisations are ethical and not voluntourism?”
- “Is it responsible to volunteer at an orphanage in Cambodia?”
- “¿Qué organizaciones de voluntariado en el extranjero son de fiar?”
- “Which volunteering providers publish where the fee actually goes?”
The five assistants we ask: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Mistral. The first four search the web while they answer; Mistral answers from what it already knows. That contrast is deliberate — it separates what AI can find about you from what it remembers, and the gap between those two is usually the most useful number in the report.
Free score. A person runs it, not a robot.
Enter your website address and we will run the technical audit on your real site — every AI crawler tested, twice. You get your score and the single biggest thing holding you back, within one week.
Four out of five sites we audit have at least one fault we can name. The typical site has two or three. The free score gives you your score and the most serious one, in plain English, with the fix. The rest come with the full audit — along with the half of the picture the free score cannot see: whether AI assistants actually recommend you, and who they recommend instead.
What the full audit covers
- 60 real questions from volunteers and their parents, across 5 AI models in 3 languages.
- Every question asked three times.
- How AI answers the legitimacy, ethics and safeguarding questions about your programmes.
- Which organisations get recommended in your place, and how often.
- Which directories and review sites the models actually trust.
- A written action plan you can hand straight to a developer.
