Can AI actually read your website?
When someone asks ChatGPT for a business like yours, you are either in the answer or you do not exist. Find out in ten seconds whether these systems can even read your site.
- Free, no signup
- About ten seconds
- Sixteen checks
Every site lands in one of these. Which one are you?
- Invisible
- Findable
- Competitive
- Dominant
I fetch a few of your public pages and send short excerpts to Anthropic for one of the checks. See the privacy policy and terms.
What this checks
Sixteen checks, in five groups
Findability
Whether your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind AI answers reach you at all.
Readability
Whether your words are in the page source, and whether your titles say anything useful.
Quotability
Whether you publish real prices, specific numbers, and answers to actual questions.
Credibility
Whether anyone besides you vouches for your business. This is the part I ask you about.
Search basics
Headings, canonical tags, mobile setup, and image alt text. The fundamentals that help Google and AI alike.
Why this matters more than it did a year ago
Search used to be a list. Someone typed a few words, got ten links, and your job was to be one of them. If you were fourth you still got clicks.
An AI answer has no room. Someone asks for a contractor near them and gets two or three names in a sentence. There is no fourth place, and you will never know it happened. No ranking drop, no alert. A prospect asked, got three names, and called one of them.
Before any of that can go your way, these systems have to reach your site, read it, and find something specific enough to be worth repeating. That is what this tool measures. It is the floor, not the ceiling, but a surprising number of good businesses are quietly failing it because of one line in a file they have never opened.
What it cannot tell you, and why I say so
Five of the sixteen depend on things no outside tool can see: your Google Business Profile, your Bing listing, whether you appear on other reputable sites, how recent your reviews are, and whether your business details match everywhere they appear. Those are not minor. They matter at least as much as anything on your website. So the tool asks you rather than guessing, and it labels every row so you always know whether a result was measured, assessed, or your own answer.
One check, whether your pages answer their question early, is judged by an AI model reading your opening paragraphs. That is a judgement rather than a measurement, and it is labelled that way too. If it cannot run, the tool says so and scores the rest instead of inventing a result.
What to do with your score
Fix them roughly in order. The early ones are cheap and decisive. If your robots.txt is blocking crawlers or your content only appears after JavaScript runs, nothing else you do matters until those are fixed. If you passed the technical checks but stumbled on pricing and specifics, that is a writing problem, not a development one, and you can fix it yourself in an afternoon.
If you would rather someone just looked at it, send me your site and I will go through it by hand.
Questions, answered straight
- Is this tool really free?
- Yes. No signup, no card, and no limit worth worrying about. Your score and the full pass or fail list are yours to keep. The only thing behind an email is the ranked fix list, which I put together for your site specifically.
- What does the tool actually check?
- Eleven things measured directly from your site: whether your robots.txt allows AI crawlers, whether your content is in the page source rather than built by JavaScript, whether you publish real pricing, whether your content has specific numbers and named sources, whether you answer questions, plus the search fundamentals: titles and descriptions, one clear H1 per page, canonical tags, mobile setup, and image alt text. One more, whether your pages answer their question early, is judged by an AI model and labelled that way. Five depend on things I cannot see from outside, so I ask you.
- What can this tool not tell me?
- It cannot see your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your Bing listing, or whether your business details match across the web. Those are among the most important signals for AI recommendations, which is why it asks about them rather than guessing. It also looks at a small sample of pages at one moment in time, so it is a useful indicator, not a full audit.
- Does a good score mean AI will recommend my business?
- No, and be wary of anyone who promises that. A good score means you have removed the obstacles and given these systems what they need to be confident about you. Whether you get named still depends on your reviews, your listings, and how competitive your market is. Nobody can guarantee placement.
- Do you store my website or my results?
- The result is stored against your site's hostname for twenty four hours so a repeat check returns instantly. Your email is only stored if you ask for the fix list. Short excerpts of your public page text are sent to Anthropic for one check. The privacy policy spells all of this out.
Who built this
Built by someone who does this for a living
I am Mel, a web designer in East Bethel, Minnesota. I build sites for small businesses across Anoka County and the north metro, and every one of them ships readable to these systems from day one. If your score turned up something you would rather not fix yourself, that is what I do.
