AI readiness scorecard · free

Is your site AI-ready?

An AI readiness check rolls up the technical basics that decide whether AI engines can find, read, and parse you, crawler access, rendering, schema, llms.txt, sitemap, and meta, into one score with the top fixes.

The whole plumbing check in one pass

This is the free, deterministic half of what a Ron audit checks before it ever asks an engine a question. It runs the four individual checks at once, adds sitemap and meta completeness, and rolls them into a single AI Readiness Score with a pass, warn, or fail on each line.

It is the natural place to start. One input, and you see every technical gap that would keep AI engines from reading you properly, ranked so you know what to fix first.

What the scorecard covers

  • AI crawler access: are GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and the rest allowed.
  • Render readability: does your real content ship in the raw HTML.
  • Structured data: which schema.org types you ship, and what's missing.
  • llms.txt and sitemap: are both present at the root.
  • Title, meta description, and OpenGraph completeness.
  • Your top 3 fixes, ordered by severity and weight.

Free here, deeper in the audit

Your plumbing score tells you if AI can read you. It is necessary, not sufficient. The full audit tells you what the engines actually say once they can, names the competitors winning your queries, and ranks the fixes. $39, once.

Questions

What's a good AI readiness score?

Anything above the high seventies means your technical basics are mostly in place. Lower than that and you almost certainly have a fixable gap, often a blocked crawler or a client-rendered page, that's keeping engines from reading you.

Is a perfect score enough to rank in AI answers?

No, and the tool is honest about that. A clean score means engines can read and parse you. Whether they mention and recommend you is a separate question the full audit answers.

What do the three statuses mean?

Pass means the check is solid, warn means it works but could be better, and fail means it's actively holding you back. Fixes are sorted so the fails come first.

How is this free when other audits cost money?

Because every check here is deterministic: fetch a file, parse it, score it. No AI calls, so no cost to run. The paid audit is the part that needs 36 grounded model queries.
