01
What exactly does the scan check?
+
It runs real HTTP requests against your domain as eight AI crawler user-agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot and others), then checks the standards that decide whether AI systems can reach, read and cite you: robots.txt rules, raw-HTML content, sitemap, llms.txt, Content Signals, JSON-LD, security.txt, usage policy, MCP/agent cards, API catalog and OpenAPI discovery.
02
Is this the same as SEO?
+
No. Classic SEO optimizes for ranked links; this measures whether autonomous agents can fetch and use your site at all. A site can rank well in Google and still be invisible to AI assistants — for example if a WAF challenges every bot user-agent.
03
Do I need to install anything?
+
No. The scan only reads publicly available URLs over HTTPS — no code, no tags, no access to your server. Anyone can scan any public domain.
04
How is the score calculated?
+
Each check carries points weighted by severity (Critical, Major, Minor) and grouped into five categories: Discoverability, Content, Bot access, Policy and Capabilities. Your score is the sum of passed checks against the maximum for your profile, converted to a percentage and an A–F grade.
05
What is AI Visibility and why is it separate?
+
AI Visibility measures whether answer engines actually mention and cite your site today. It is observational and noisy, so it is reported separately and never mixed into the readiness grade.
06
How often can I re-scan?
+
Once every 7 days for free. A forced re-scan before that requires an account and a paid credit, which keeps load on scanned sites reasonable.
07
Are results public?
+
Yes — scores and history for a domain are public, which is what makes comparison and the leaderboard possible. The scan only ever reads public pages.
08
What do I get if I register?
+
A prioritized P0–P2 remediation plan, bot-policy and robots templates, CAPTCHA/WAF guidance, structured-data and MCP examples, and a re-scan when you are done — $10/month, cancel anytime.
