Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI readiness and how Score for AI can help.
What is an AI Readiness Score?
A measure from 0 to 100 that indicates how well your website can be read, understood, and recommended by AI agents like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. It evaluates 48 specific checks across 5 categories: Access & Crawlability, Readability & Structure, Identity & Trust, Integration & Discovery, and Answerability & Content.
How does Score for AI work?
Enter your URL and our scanner runs 48 automated checks — robots.txt, structured data, content depth, meta tags, AI-specific protocols, and more. Takes about 30 seconds, no signup required.
Why should I care about AI readiness?
AI agents are rapidly becoming a primary way people find information. Research shows AI Overviews reduce organic CTR by up to 61%. If AI agents can't read your site, you lose visibility to a growing segment of potential customers.
What's included in the free scan vs the Full Report?
The free scan gives you your overall score plus category breakdown. The Full Report ($29) shows every individual check, specific fix recommendations, priority ranking, and competitive benchmarking.
What AI agents does the scanner check for?
Score for AI checks compatibility with all major AI agents including ChatGPT (GPTBot), Claude (ClaudeBot), Google AI Overviews (Google-Extended), Perplexity (PerplexityBot), Amazon (Amazonbot), Apple Intelligence (Applebot-Extended), Meta AI, Microsoft Copilot, and Common Crawl (CCBot).
How is the score calculated?
The score runs 48 individual checks across 5 weighted categories. Each check evaluates a specific aspect of AI readiness. Category scores are combined into a final weighted score out of 100. The methodology is transparent: you can see exactly which checks passed or failed.
How can I improve my score?
Common fixes: allow AI bots in robots.txt, add Schema.org structured data, implement proper meta tags, create a sitemap, add an RSS feed, and use semantic HTML. Our Full Report provides a prioritized fix list for your specific site.
How often should I scan my website?
We recommend scanning after any major website update, content change, CMS migration, or redesign. For actively maintained websites, a monthly scan helps ensure your AI readiness stays high.
Is my data safe?
Yes. We don't store your website content after scanning. We retain only the URL and score for aggregate analytics. See our privacy policy for details.
Can I scan competitor websites?
Yes! Score for AI scans any publicly accessible website. Many users scan their own site first, then check competitors to benchmark their AI readiness.
