Free AI readiness checker
Can AI read your site?
You get an AI readiness score, an SEO health score, and a preview of what's getting in the way. Free, about a minute, no account.
- An AI readiness score out of 100, with an SEO health score
- Up to six of your most important pages, found through your sitemap and navigation
- Your top fixes, with the change to paste in for your platform
We check your rules for 22 AI crawlers, including GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot, and visit your site as six of them to see what they get.
What you get
Three scores and the fixes that matter most
Your result has its own page, and we email you the link.
AI readiness score
Out of 100, across five areas: can AI read your site, make sense of it, find answers in it, trust it, and load it.
SEO health score
The same pages weighed the way a search engine weighs them: titles, headings, canonicals, sitemaps, links and speed.
Quick wins
Up to three fixes that each take under half an hour, ranked by how much they help.
Up to two fixes in full
The exact change to make, written for your platform, such as Vercel, Nginx, Apache or Cloudflare, ready to copy.
The biggest issue in each area
Named for every area we score, with a count of the rest.
How it works
We visit your site the way AI assistants do
No installation and no access to your site. About a minute.
We pick your pages
Up to six, starting with the ones that sell: pricing, services and products, then articles and FAQs.
We visit as the assistants do
We read your robots.txt and your host's bot rules, fetch pages as the AI assistants' own crawlers, and look at what's in the HTML before any JavaScript runs.
We score and rank the fixes
60 checks weighted into three scores, with the fixes ranked by how much they move the score for the time they take.
What we check
46 checks in five areas
The same areas the result page scores, in the same order. The full audit adds eight more checks and reads your copy with AI.
Can they read it
Whether AI assistants are allowed in and can see your content.
- AI crawler rules in robots.txt
- Blocks added by your CDN or host
- noindex and similar hidden instructions
- Status codes and redirects
- HTTPS and the certificate
- Pop-ups covering the content
- llms.txt, reported but not scored
Can they make sense of it
Whether each page says clearly what it is and who it's from.
- Structured data, including Organization schema
- One H1 and a clean heading order
- A canonical address
- A sitemap
- Title and meta description
- Language and hreflang
- Link text and broken internal links
Is it an answer
Whether your pages answer the questions people ask.
- Question coverage
- Facts an assistant can lift, like prices and specs
- Depth
- In the full audit: each passage read and marked by AI

Signals that you are who you say you are.
- Reviews and ratings
- Profiles linked with sameAs
- Named authors
- How recently pages changed
- Original data
- Mentions across the web
Does it load properly
Whether pages arrive quickly and work on a phone.
- Server response time
- Page weight and compression
- Caching
- Image sizes and alt text
- Mobile viewport
Reading your score
What the scores mean
All three scores use the same bands. The free check doesn't read your copy with AI, so where that matters it shows the range your score could land in once the copy is marked.
- 90+Excellent
Little in the way. Keep it there as the site changes.
- 75–89Good
AI can use your site. A few fixes would make it easier.
- 60–74Needs work
Some pages are hard for AI to reach or use. The fixes are usually quick.
- 40–59Poor
Big gaps in access, structure or trust. Start with the quick wins.
- Under 40Critical
AI assistants may not be able to use your site at all.
How to improve it
The fixes we see most
Most sites lose points in the same few places.
Let the right AI crawlers in
Blocking a training crawler like GPTBot is your call. Blocking the ones that fetch pages for answers, like OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User or PerplexityBot, keeps you out of those answers. Check robots.txt and your CDN's bot settings.
Put the text in the HTML
If your content only appears after JavaScript runs, many AI crawlers see an empty page. Render it on the server.
Say who you are
Add Organization schema, link your profiles with sameAs, and use the same name and description everywhere.
Answer the question first
Open each page with the answer, then the detail. Use headings that match the questions people ask.
Keep one address per page
Canonical tags, redirects that go straight to the final page, and a sitemap that lists the pages you want found.
Free check or full audit
The free check reads six pages. The full audit reads your site.

Questions
About the AI Readiness Checker
Anything else, write to support@cleotic.ai.
Is the AI readiness checker free?
Yes. No account and no charge. We ask for an email to send you the link to your result.
What is AI readiness?
How easily AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can reach your site, read it, understand it and quote it. It's the groundwork for being named in their answers.
Does it check whether GPTBot or ChatGPT is blocked?
Yes. We read your robots.txt rules for 22 AI crawlers and assistants and visit your site as six of them, including ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot. Blocking a training crawler like GPTBot costs a few points. Blocking the ones that fetch pages for answers costs the whole check.
Does it check llms.txt?
It reports whether you have one. It doesn't change your score.
Is this a technical SEO audit?
Partly. The SEO health score covers titles, headings, canonicals, sitemaps, structured data, links and page weight across up to six pages. The full audit in Cleotic reads up to 250.
Why is my score shown as a range?
The free check counts headings, facts and length but doesn't read your copy with AI. Three checks need that, so we show where your score could land once they're marked.
Why do some checks say not measured?
When the pages we read don't give a check what it needs, such as a page that didn't load, the check is left out of the score instead of guessed.
How often can I run it?
Up to five checks an hour for each website, and three an hour for each email address.
How is this different from Cleotic?
The free check reads six pages once. Cleotic reads up to 250 every week, marks your copy with AI, shows every issue with its evidence and fix, and tracks what AI assistants say about your brand.
