How ready is your site for AI search?
Enter a page address and get a graded assessment of what is mechanically checkable: structured data, AI crawler access and machine-readability. It measures readiness, not whether engines actually cite you.
Every warn and fail, with the fix.
Per-check remediation in priority order: what to add, where, with the exact schema, robots.txt and llms.txt snippets to paste in. It is written to make sense on its own.
Readiness is the half a site controls. The other half is the question this tool does not answer: when buyers ask AI engines about your category, does the answer name your brand? Measuring that means querying the engines systematically. That is the AI search visibility audit, run senior-led with a defensible query set and a competitive read.
What the check covers.
Does this measure whether AI engines recommend my brand?
No. Be wary of any free tool claiming it does. This check measures readiness: the mechanically checkable layer a site controls, which is structured data, crawler access and machine-readability. Whether engines actually cite you is a different measurement, made by querying the engines systematically.
What exactly does the checker fetch?
Three things, once: the page you submit, the site’s robots.txt and its llms.txt. It identifies itself as sampark-aeo-check, respects robots.txt directives aimed at it, stops after five seconds, and reads at most 2MB. Results are cached for an hour.
What is on the page, and what is in the email?
The page shows your grade, what it means for you, and a line for every check marked pass, warn or fail. The email explains how to fix each one, in priority order, with the exact schema, robots.txt and llms.txt snippets to paste in. Running the check is free and never gated. The emailed plan is optional.
Is the URL I check stored?
Checks run on demand, and results are cached for an hour so repeat checks of the same page do not refetch it. Nothing is logged against you. Requesting the emailed report transmits that form, plus your grade if you tick the box.
Why did my well-ranking site score poorly?
Ranking and readiness are different layers. A site can rank well on authority earned over years while it declares no structured data, blocks AI crawlers or renders everything with JavaScript. Those are the things this check measures, and the score is there to show the gap.
What do the grades mean?
The letter grades the checkable layer, and it does not track the percentage directly. A means every check passes and nothing is left to fix. A− means every hard check passes and only a soft heuristic flag remains, such as no question-and-answer structure on a page that was never meant to be an FAQ. A page can be fully ready and still hold an A−. B to E reflect widening gaps in the layer you control. A competent site with no llms.txt grades a considered B at a high percentage. The letter is meant to discriminate at the top, so it holds the bar there.
