What the scan checks

Three things decide whether an AI tool can use your page at all. Each gets its own section in your report, with plain-English fixes.

Crawler access · 40 points

Whether your robots.txt and firewall let AI crawlers in. We separate bots that train models from bots that fetch your page live when someone asks a question.

Readability · 30 points

Whether your content is in the page's HTML or only appears after JavaScript runs. Most AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they'd see a blank page.

Clarity · 30 points

Whether the page says clearly who you are, what you do and where, through headings, meta tags, contact details and structured data.

Lists show domains only, never full URLs, and only for scans where the person scanning chose to list the result.

This measures readiness, not rankings

The scanner checks whether AI tools can reach and understand your page. It can't tell you whether they currently mention or recommend your business. That depends on reviews, reputation and how often you're discussed elsewhere on the web.

Think of it like a technical SEO audit: it finds what's holding you back, not where you rank. A low score is worth fixing, because no amount of reputation helps if AI crawlers can't read the page.

FAQ

AI readiness questions

What does the AI readiness score measure?

Whether AI search tools can reach, read and understand one page of your site. It combines crawler access (40 points: robots.txt rules and firewall tests for 10 AI crawlers), readability (30 points: is your text in the HTML, are there headings, how fast does the server answer) and clarity (30 points: title, description, H1, contact details, schema and more).

Which AI crawlers does it test?

The crawlers that fetch pages live when someone asks a question (OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User from OpenAI, Claude-SearchBot and Claude-User from Anthropic, PerplexityBot) and the ones that collect training data (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, plus the Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended robots.txt tokens).

Why does blocking training crawlers cost fewer points?

Blocking crawlers that collect training data is a legitimate choice and doesn't stop AI tools from citing you in answers. Blocking the live-answer crawlers does, so they're worth more and blocking all of them caps your score at 40.

Does a high score mean ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No. The score tells you nothing on the page is standing in the way. Whether AI tools mention you depends on reviews, reputation and how often you're discussed elsewhere on the web.

Do I need an llms.txt file?

It isn't scored, because no major AI provider has confirmed using it. It's cheap to add if you want one: try our llms.txt generator.

What do you store when I scan?

The address scanned (without any query string), the results and the time. We don't store your IP address; rate limits use a one-way hash of it. Public lists show the domain only, and only if you tick the box.
