We scan the actual crawl, entity, local, and answer-ready signals that help search and AI systems understand a local business. The readiness score is structural. Live AI visibility, when enabled, is measured separately.
Heating the forge…Inspecting crawl access, entity data, local relevance, and answerability.

Non-scoring controls
We show these because they matter operationally, but we do not pad the score with signals that are experimental, training-related, or already counted elsewhere.
WHAT THIS SCORE MEANS
Readiness Score measures observable website/search signals. It does not claim that a business is currently being recommended by every AI system. Live AI Visibility, when available, is a separate sample of current OpenAI web-search-backed answers and can change over time.
THE SCORE IS THE DIAGNOSIS.
