Frequently asked questions
What is an AI search readiness score?
It is our versioned technical diagnostic of a limited public-page sample. Read the evidence and test coverage with the score; it does not predict rankings or citations.

AI Search Readiness Checker
Use the free AI Search Readiness Checker to review crawler policy, indexability, raw HTML and technical findings for up to five pages.
Read policy, evidence and uncertainty together
A successful fetch from AI Crawl Score means our generic client received a response. It does not establish how a verified crawler will be treated by your server or CDN. The crawler matrix interprets the page’s robots rules; it does not claim to observe real crawler visits.
Use the result to prioritize a review
Check failed findings first, then examine unknown or untested signals. Open each finding for its weight, evidence and recommended action. Keep deliberate exclusions intact on pages that should remain private or undiscoverable.
