Decide which AI bots read your site for free, which are blocked and which pay. Then put a price on your API, data or tool so AI agents can pay per call, without hurting the search and AI visibility you already have.
Red Center Studio sets up paid access for AI crawlers and AI agents on Cloudflare: a crawler policy that keeps AI search assistants welcome while charging or blocking the rest, Cloudflare's paid crawler access where your account has it (pay per crawl is being replaced by Pay Per Use, in beta since 30 September 2026), and pay-per-call APIs that AI agents pay for in USDC using the x402 standard. The x402 option runs on Cloudflare Workers and works from any country. Setup starts from $499 USD and usually takes 1 to 2 weeks.
Cloudflare AI Crawl Control and Cloudflare's paid crawler access (Pay Per Use, which is replacing pay per crawl) for crawlers, Cloudflare Workers for paid endpoints, the x402 payment standard with USDC on Base, and robots.txt and llms.txt for discovery.
Fixed quote after a short review of your site, your AI bot traffic and what you want to charge for. Timeline: usually 1 to 2 weeks. Prices are in USD.
A review of your AI bot traffic, a per-bot allow, block or charge policy, and Cloudflare's paid crawler access (Pay Per Use, which is replacing pay per crawl) set up where your account has access.
An API, dataset or tool given a per-call price that AI agents pay in USDC over x402, built on Cloudflare Workers and tested on a test network first. Works from any country.
I work remotely with clients worldwide. Questions, reviews and updates run asynchronously across time zones, with calls booked at times that suit you.
This site: static pages served from Cloudflare Workers, structured data on every page, llms.txt for AI assistants, and two free tools built in, an error decoder and a GEO audit that runs server-side in a Worker.

It can if every bot is charged or blocked, which is why the policy is set bot by bot. AI search assistants that cite you and send visitors stay free. Crawlers that send nothing back are the ones charged or blocked. Your pages stay free for people to read.
A Cloudflare feature that lets a site owner set a price for AI crawlers. A crawler that has agreed to pay gets the page, and one that has not gets an HTTP 402 Payment Required reply. Cloudflare handles the billing. Cloudflare is replacing it with Pay Per Use, in beta since 30 September 2026, where publishers are paid when their content is used in an answer. Both are betas, so access depends on Cloudflare.
An open standard for paying over the web with HTTP 402. An AI agent asks for something, gets the price, signs a payment in USDC and gets the result, with no sign-up or API key. Coinbase and Cloudflare both support it.
Yes. The pay-per-call API we build uses x402 on Cloudflare Workers in your own account, and it works from any country. Cloudflare's Monetization Gateway, which applies x402 payment rules to matching traffic, is a closed beta for sellers and buyers based in the United States only.
That depends on how much AI traffic you get and what agents will pay. For most small sites it is modest. It suits sites with original content, data or tools that AI agents want. No income is promised.
For x402, payments arrive as USDC, a dollar-backed stablecoin, in a wallet you control. The handover covers setting one up and moving funds to your bank. Cloudflare's paid crawler access is billed through Cloudflare instead. For tax and accounting, ask your accountant.
Yes. This site's GEO audit is built as a pay-per-call API for AI agents. It switches on once its receiving wallet is set, and redcenterstudio.com/api/agent always shows whether it is live. Every page, and the audit for people, stays free.
