EVIDENCE FIRST
How we score
We read up to eight public pages linked from your website. The report is an automated draft based on the HTML returned by those pages. We do not ask AI assistants questions or use an AI model to write the findings.
What the numbers mean
Each measured check earns 0 (missing or incorrect), 1 (partial), or 2 (present). “Not checked” is excluded from the possible points. An unavailable page, unsupported business type or unverified claim is not automatically a failure.
| Area | What this scan measures |
|---|---|
| AEO | Partial evidence toward the ten AI Search Readiness criteria: business clarity, information consistency, service answers, credibility and technical access. Website content matches earn at most partial credit. A full score out of 20 requires all ten criteria to be verified. |
| SEO | Titles, descriptions and indexing directives on inspected pages. This is a technical snapshot, not Google rankings or a full SEO grade. |
| Website | Contact links, heading structure, viewport settings, image alt attributes and HTTPS. A mobile PageSpeed result is included when available. We do not test form submission or visual usability. |
| Social / Marketing | Website links to candidate social profiles, project or case-study content, testimonial content and customer next steps on those pages. Content sections earn 1 point with at least 12 words, or 2 with at least 40. These are presence checks, not judgments of quality, authenticity or recency. Missing evidence means not found in our sample, not absent everywhere. Social activity and independent review replies remain unscored. |
| AI tools | Assess. Public pages do not establish which internal tools a business uses or whether a workflow works. |
What the full report adds
The $99 report uses the same saved scan as the free scorecard. It expands the findings into a downloadable evidence log, page sources, fixes and success checks. It is an automated technical report, not a human-reviewed audit or a promise that every area can be scored.
Limits to keep in mind
- The scan does not execute JavaScript. Some text, widgets and contact paths may not appear in the returned HTML.
- We sample pages linked from the entered page; this is not a complete site crawl.
- Our service vocabulary comes from Clear Discovery’s local-business audit kit. Unusual services may require manual review.
- Present information is not necessarily accurate. Reviews, business identity, credentials and all service areas need independent verification.
- A partial score is never scaled up to 20. Technical points are not the manual audit’s letter grades.
- Readiness does not establish AI inclusion, search rankings, customer inquiries or revenue.
