How to check search and AI readiness with one URL

Enter a URL to assess how well a page is prepared to be read and understood by search engines and AI answer services. The score describes current readiness; it does not guarantee rankings or citations.

01

A URL diagnosis examines the page as it is now

A URL-based diagnosis reads the public page and checks automatically measurable on-page conditions. It separates search and AI readiness, helping you see how many areas still need attention.

Read the results as a starting point for understanding the live page’s technical and structural readiness, rather than as a prediction of the whole site’s business performance.

02

Read three distinct results

Current score

Your currently measured on-page readiness, on a scale of 100.

Potential score

The technical readiness you can realistically aim for by addressing the measured gaps.

Improvement areas

The number of areas that need further review or improvement.

The same score can mean different things depending on the site’s purpose and competition. Consider the two axes and remaining areas together, rather than relying on one number.

03

Search readiness and AI answer readiness differ

SEO

Search engine readiness

Checks the on-page conditions that help search engines discover, understand and include a page in search results.

AEO · GEO

AI answer readiness

Checks the on-page conditions that help AI services identify the publisher, understand the content and use it as answer material.

High search readiness does not automatically lead to AI citations, or vice versa. The processes for discovery and use in answers are not identical, so we report the two scores separately.

04

Scores do not verify actual visibility

Automatic diagnosis covers what can be measured on the public page. Actual indexing, the queries that surface your site, competitiveness, and external trust and mentions require separate investigation.

A high score means the foundations for visibility are in place. It is not a promise of top rankings for a keyword or recommendations from ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity.

05

Most useful before and after site changes

Use a diagnosis as a baseline before launching a site, after changing a domain, or following a major page redesign. When rechecking the same URL, compare both scores and the number of improvement areas.

Free results provide a quick overview of your current position. Specific findings and what to change are covered in a detailed diagnosis that considers your site’s context.

Length alone does not determine search rankings. Length-based quality checks are excluded for Japanese, mixed or uncertain-language pages.
