What this audit is, and is not.

It is a homepage readiness snapshot: a measure of how well one public page is set up to be found, understood, and named by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.

Twenty-four checks run against that page, its robots file, sitemap, response headers, and a crawler probe, grouped into four things an assistant needs. Retrieval: can it fetch and index your pages at all. Identity: can it state who you are and how to reach you without guessing. Extractability: is there a self-contained passage it could lift and quote. Trust: are there dates, named authors, and sources that make that passage safe to repeat.

It is not comparable to a comprehensive multi-page report, which has a different scope and scoring model. Anything we cannot measure from outside your site is marked as unmeasured and left out of the score rather than counted against you.

Yes. It is free, it runs in about 30 seconds, and it needs no login or account. You get the score and every failing check whether or not you ever talk to us. The fix for each one opens when you tell us where to send it.

A low score is usually four or five fixable things, not a rebuild. The common ones are a site that never states what the business does in machine-readable form, a robots file that quietly blocks the assistants that decide who gets named, and pages with nothing specific enough to quote.

You can hand the list to whoever maintains your site. If you would rather we did it, that is the Answer Engine, and you get a fixed quote before any work starts.

No. Things this audit cannot see from outside also carry weight, including your marketing, your reputation, and how often other places on the internet mention you. A low score means there is a gap on your own site that is usually straightforward to close. It does not mean you are invisible.

No, and nobody can promise that. The score reflects the signals an answer engine can verify about your site, which is the part you control. We do not guarantee a ranking, a citation, a recommendation, or a date.
