Buyers ask AI before they ask Google. Scan your homepage for the technical signals that decide whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI can find, read, and cite you, then get the top fixes to start showing up. No login required.
The same technical signals the paid tools charge for, scored for free. Each category is weighted by how much it moves your visibility, then combined into a single score.
Can AI crawlers reach your pages at all? We read robots.txt, check AI-specific agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended), and probe whether a firewall quietly blocks them. If they cannot fetch you, nothing else matters.
Headings, JSON-LD, and clean markup tell AI what your content is. We check for Article and Organization schema, a sane heading hierarchy, and machine-readable structure.
AI favors content that shows expertise: author attribution, citations, outbound references, and academic-citation signals that most tools never check for.
Publish and updated dates, recency signals, and last-modified headers. Content that looks stale loses citation potential over time.
Canonical tags, meta robots, sitemap presence, and llms.txt. The checks that decide whether your pages are even eligible to appear in an AI answer.
Self-contained sections, scannable lists, and readable sentences. AI quotes what it can lift cleanly out of a page, so structure beats length.
Traditional SEO gets you ranked on Google. Getting recommended by AI is a different game, and most sites have never been checked for it.
AI answer engines crawl the web with their own agents. If your robots.txt or firewall blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or Google-Extended, you are invisible before the conversation even starts.
Once an engine fetches a page, it parses it. Schema markup, clean headings, and structured data are how AI understands what your content is and who it is for.
AI recommends sources it can trust and quote. Clear authorship, real evidence, and self-contained passages are what get lifted into an answer with your name attached.
From your URL to a scored report in seconds. You get the score, the reasons behind it, and the fixes that matter most. Fix something, re-scan, and watch the number move.
Paste your homepage. No login, no credit card, no email required to see your score.
ILLIXIS fetches your homepage and checks it across all six categories at once.
A 0 to 100 score with a category-by-category breakdown and the exact signals that passed or failed.
Every result comes with the highest-impact fixes. Start with those, or let ILLIXIS execute the whole list for you.
AI search readiness measures how well your site is set up to be found, read, and cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI. It is not whether they currently mention you. It is whether they technically can.
Traditional SEO checks whether Google can rank you: keywords, meta tags, crawlability. AI readiness checks whether AI engines can extract and cite you: crawler access for AI-specific agents, structured data, authorship, and self-contained content. The overlap is partial, and the AI side is exactly what most audits skip.
No, and that is deliberate. The audit is deterministic. We read your homepage and check the technical signals that AI engines rely on. That means results in seconds, the same score every time, and no AI cost or randomness in the result.
Six categories make up your score: crawler access (can AI agents reach you), structure and schema (can they parse you), authority and evidence (do you signal expertise), freshness (does your content look current), indexability (are your pages eligible to appear), and extractability (can AI lift a clean quote). Each is scored on its own so you know where to start.
Any time you redesign, switch CMS, or change your robots.txt, and quarterly as a baseline. Crawler access in particular can break silently after a platform migration, so it is worth a recheck whenever your stack changes.
No. We analyze your homepage to generate the score, and we do not store the page or share your results.
A free scan tells you what is holding your AI visibility back. The next step is execution, not more planning. ILLIXIS writes the content, fixes the structure, and keeps your site citable as the engines change.
