The AI Readiness Score measures how well your website is configured to be discovered, crawled, and cited by AI search engines. It evaluates five dimensions: Technical Readiness, Content Structure, Authority Signals, Entity Coverage, and Citation Readiness, each contributing to a final score out of 100.
Each of the 15 questions has three answer options weighted from low to high. Your selections are scored per category and aggregated into a final composite score. The score reflects your website’s current setup, not its potential.
A score of 80 or above indicates strong AI readiness. Scores between 60 and 79 are competitive but need targeted improvements. Scores below 60 indicate significant gaps that must be addressed before your content is likely to be cited in AI-generated responses.
AI crawlers such as GPTBot, Bingbot, and ClaudeBot rely on structured data, crawl permissions, and fast-loading pages to extract and index content. Without schema markup and properly configured robots.txt directives, even well-written content may be ignored entirely by AI systems.
No. Traditional search ranking signals and AI readiness signals are related but not identical. A website can rank well on Google while still lacking the structured data, entity clarity, and answer-first formatting that AI engines require for citation. This audit is designed to surface those gaps specifically.
