About AI Site Scorer

AI Site Scorer evaluates a website’s readiness for AI agents by simulating real crawls from multiple AI bot user-agents such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot. It tests whether AI systems can discover, read, and cite a site by probing standards like llms.txt, robots.txt, Content Signals, structured data, MCP, and API catalogs. The tool provides a graded scorecard with failing checks and actionable recommendations to improve AI visibility. It also assesses how visible a site is in AI-generated answers by observing whether AI search services reference it. The scan runs over HTTPS without requiring installation or access to the server, making it accessible for any public domain. Results are public and include a history of scans, enabling comparison and benchmarking against other sites.

Frequently asked questions about AI Site Scorer

What exactly does the AI Site Scorer scan check?

The scan performs real HTTP requests as eight AI crawler user-agents, including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot, and evaluates standards such as 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.

Is AI Site Scorer the same as SEO?

No, it differs from traditional SEO by measuring whether autonomous AI agents can fetch and use a site, rather than optimizing for ranked links. A site may rank well in search engines but remain invisible to AI assistants if blocked by a WAF or missing AI-specific signals.

Do I need to install anything to use AI Site Scorer?

No installation is required. The tool only reads publicly available URLs over HTTPS without accessing the server or requiring code, tags, or credentials. Anyone can scan any public domain.

How is the AI readiness score calculated?

Each check is weighted by severity (Critical, Major, Minor) and grouped into five categories: Discoverability, Content, Bot access, Policy, and Capabilities. The score is the sum of passed checks against the maximum possible for the profile, converted to a percentage and an A–F grade.

What is AI Visibility, and why is it separate from the readiness score?

AI Visibility measures whether answer engines actually mention and cite a site in their responses, which is observational and can be inconsistent. It is reported separately and not included in the readiness grade to maintain accuracy.

How often can I re-scan a domain with AI Site Scorer?

A free scan can be performed once every 7 days. Re-scanning sooner requires an account and a paid credit to ensure reasonable load on scanned sites.
