Answer 9 yes-or-no questions. Get an AI Readiness Score and find out if ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can find your business.
1.Does your website have a clear, text-based description of what your business does?
AI assistants need text to understand your business. Image-only homepages are invisible to AI.
2.Is your business listed on Google Business Profile with complete details?
Google Business Profile is the #1 source for local business data used by AI systems.
3.Do you have LocalBusiness or Organization schema markup on your site?
Schema markup is machine-readable data that AI crawlers extract directly. Without it, AI has to guess.
4.Does your robots.txt allow AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot)?
If your robots.txt blocks AI crawlers, ChatGPT literally cannot index your content. Most business owners don't know this file exists.
5.Do you have at least 20 Google reviews with a 4.0+ average?
Review volume and quality are trust signals AI uses when deciding which businesses to recommend.
6.Is your business listed on 3+ industry-specific directories?
AI cross-references directories to verify your business exists. The more trusted sources, the more confident AI is in recommending you.
7.Does your site have an FAQ section with common questions about your services?
FAQ content in Q&A format is exactly what AI extracts to answer user queries. FAQPage schema makes it even better.
8.Is your Name, Address, and Phone (NAP) consistent everywhere online?
Inconsistent NAP data across your website, Google, and directories makes AI uncertain about which details are correct.
9.Have you submitted your site to Bing Webmaster Tools?
ChatGPT uses Bing's index for 87% of its citations. If Bing hasn't crawled you, ChatGPT can't recommend you.

58% of consumers now use AI assistants to find local services. When someone asks ChatGPT "find a plumber near me," only 22% of plumbing businesses appear in the results. The rest are invisible — not because they're bad businesses, but because they lack the signals AI needs.
AI readiness isn't about gaming algorithms. It's about making your business information clear, consistent, and machine-readable. The same things that help AI find you — clean schema, good reviews, consistent NAP data — also help Google and Bing rank you higher.
This quiz checks the 9 factors that matter most for AI visibility. Each is weighted by its actual impact: having clean schema markup (15%) matters more than Bing submission (5%), because schema is what AI reads directly while Bing is just one discovery pathway.
An AI-ready business can be found and recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. This requires clean structured data, directory presence, good reviews, and content formatted for AI extraction. 78% of local businesses fail these checks.
The score is weighted across 9 factors: website content (15%), Google Business Profile (15%), schema markup (15%), robots.txt rules (10%), reviews (10%), directory presence (10%), FAQ content (10%), NAP consistency (10%), and Bing submission (5%). Each factor reflects its actual impact on AI visibility.
Start with the highest-weight items: 1) Add clear text describing your business on your website, 2) Complete your Google Business Profile, 3) Add LocalBusiness schema markup. These three alone can move you from 'Invisible' to 'Getting There'. Then work through the remaining items.
Basic fixes (schema markup, robots.txt, meta descriptions) take 1-2 days. Building review volume takes 2-3 months. Directory presence takes 1-2 weeks. Most businesses can achieve a score of 70+ within 4-6 weeks of consistent effort.
