How AI agents see your website

Enter a URL and we crawl it the way ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI do — then score what they can read, quote, and trust. See the leaderboard.

How it works

Two layers, one score

Each audit reads your site twice — deterministic checks for structure, an LLM agent for meaning — then merges both into one 0–100 score.

Layer 1

Foundational checks

16 deterministic checks on the structure and metadata an agent parses before it reads any content.

Metadata4 checks

How an agent identifies, labels, and attributes the page.

Clear page title · Meta description · Canonical URL · Open Graph basics

Structure4 checks

The semantic skeleton an agent extracts into clean text.

Single H1 heading · Content structure · Structured data present · Schema types identified

Content3 checks

Whether the page carries real, readable substance.

Internal linking · Image alt coverage · Readable content depth

Crawl access5 checks

Whether AI crawlers can reach and index the page at all.

Indexable for discovery · AI-accessible meta tags · llms.txt valid · AI bot access · RSS / Atom feed

Layer 2

Agent intelligence

An LLM crawls your site the way ChatGPT or Perplexity would and rates what makes a page worth citing.

1Answer Readiness

Leads with direct answers to the questions users actually ask.

Answer-first pages earn 4.8× more AI citations

2Quotability

Offers clean, self-contained passages an agent can lift verbatim.

Quotable tables and lists earn 2.8× more citations

3Evidence Density

Backs claims with statistics, named sources, and in-text citations.

In-text citations lift AI visibility by 115%

4Content Depth

Covers the topic with enough substance to answer follow-ups.

Substantive pages get cited over thin ones

5Freshness

Shows date signals and signs of active maintenance.

Fresh updates keep you cited over stale rivals

6Structural Clarity

Uses clean, semantic HTML that survives extraction to text.

Clean heading structure earns 3.2× more citations
