AI Search Readiness Checker
Evaluate the signals that help search engines and AI-assisted discovery systems understand a page: crawlability, entity clarity, structured data and content structure. A transparent readiness assessment — not a prediction of whether any AI system will cite you.

Five categories, 33 explicit checks
Every point in the score comes from a check listed here. Checks that cannot be run with the input you provide are marked “not checked” and excluded — never guessed.
| Category | Weight | Checks |
|---|---|---|
| Technical Discoverability | 25% | HTTPS · no noindex (meta robots and X-Robots-Tag) · canonical URL · robots.txt availability · XML sitemap discoverable · Googlebot and Bingbot not blocked |
| Search Foundations | 20% | Title tag · meta description · single H1 · heading hierarchy · language declaration · mobile viewport · semantic landmarks · navigation links · internal links |
| Structured Information | 20% | JSON-LD present · JSON parses · Organization/LocalBusiness · WebSite · Service/Product · BreadcrumbList (not on homepages) |
| Entity Clarity | 20% | Organization name identifiable · consistent naming · contact information · About link · Contact link · services described · location or service area (local businesses only) |
| Content Structure | 15% | Descriptive headings · question-style headings · FAQ section · lists or tables · substantive main content |
Also reported, not scored: how your robots.txt treats 13 search and AI user agents (Googlebot, Google-Extended, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Applebot-Extended, CCBot). Allowing or blocking AI crawlers is a business decision, so it does not change your score.
What can be checked, and where
Browsers block websites from reading other websites (cross-origin restrictions). So this tool is explicit about where each check runs.
| Capability | How | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Analyze pasted HTML and robots.txt | Entirely in your browser (DOMParser). Nothing is uploaded. | Available now |
| Analyze orivexa.ca as an example | Same-origin fetch of our own homepage, robots.txt and sitemap | Available now |
| Scan any public URL | Orivexa server function fetches the page, robots.txt and sitemap.xml and returns them; analysis still runs in your browser | Requires the server component to be deployed. If it is unavailable, the tool says so and shows no results. |
| JavaScript-rendered content | Would require a headless browser on a server | Not offered — the tool analyzes source HTML |
| Core Web Vitals, backlinks, rankings, AI answer sampling | Require third-party APIs or data (e.g. PageSpeed Insights, Search Console, prompt sampling) | Not included — covered in our free growth audit |
What this tool does not claim
No search engine or AI provider publishes a readiness score, and their ranking and citation systems are proprietary. This checker cannot tell you whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews will mention or cite a page.
What it can tell you is whether a page has well-documented foundations in place: it can be crawled and indexed, it states clearly who the business is, it provides machine-readable information, and its content is organized so the answer to a question is easy to find. These foundations serve regular search and people too.
How to use the results
- Start with Technical Discoverability — if a page cannot be crawled, nothing else matters.
- Fix entity basics next: consistent name, contact details, About and Contact pages.
- Add or correct Organization and WebSite JSON-LD, matching what is visible.
- Restructure key pages with descriptive headings, direct answers and an FAQ.
- Review crawler policies deliberately, using our AI crawler guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can this tool tell me if ChatGPT will cite my website?
No. No tool can, because AI systems do not publish how they select sources, and answers vary by user and wording. This is a readiness assessment of documented foundations.
Why is my score different when I paste the source versus scanning the URL?
Some checks — robots.txt, sitemap, X-Robots-Tag headers — need data that is not in the page source. Checks that could not be run are excluded from the score, so the two modes can differ.
Does adding schema markup make AI systems cite me?
There is no public evidence that structured data alone causes AI citations. It provides machine-readable facts that can improve entity clarity, and it supports some search features.
Should I allow all AI crawlers?
Not necessarily. Search and retrieval crawlers, training crawlers and user-initiated fetchers have different purposes. Our AI crawler guide explains the trade-offs.
Do you store the URLs I check?
No. The optional scanner fetches the page and returns it without logging or storing the URL or results. Pasted source never leaves your browser.
Why only one page?
Readiness varies page by page. Check your homepage, a key service page and an important article separately.
