What is an AI Readiness Score?
AI Readiness measures how well your website is optimized for AI-powered search engines. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on Google's ranking algorithm, AI Readiness evaluates whether AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews can access, understand, and cite your content.
As AI search grows, your AI Readiness score determines whether your business gets recommended when customers ask AI assistants for advice. A site with poor AI Readiness might rank well on Google but be completely invisible to AI-generated answers.
Foglift is the first free tool to measure AI Readiness alongside traditional SEO, giving you a complete picture of your search visibility.

- • Focuses on keywords, backlinks, page speed
- • Goal: appear in blue link results
- • Tools: Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz ($99-139/mo)
GEO (AI Search)
- ✓ Optimizes for AI answer generation
- ✓ Focuses on structured data, AI crawler access
- ✓ Goal: get cited in AI-generated answers
- ✓ Tool: Foglift (free to start)
What goes into your AI Readiness score?
Foglift checks 7 factors that determine how AI search engines evaluate your site.

Can GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot crawl your site? Many robots.txt files block AI crawlers without webmasters knowing.
📊20%
Structured Data Depth
Do you have rich Schema.org markup (FAQPage, HowTo, Organization)? AI models extract structured data to build accurate answers.
❓15%

Entity Identity
Organization, Person, or LocalBusiness schema tells AI models who you are and establishes authority in your domain.

AI Readiness FAQ
What is a good AI Readiness score?
An AI Readiness score of 80+ means AI search engines can effectively access, understand, and cite your content. Scores of 90+ are excellent. Below 60 means significant gaps in AI visibility that need immediate attention.
How is the AI Readiness score different from an SEO score?
SEO scores measure optimization for traditional Google search (keywords, backlinks, page speed). AI Readiness scores measure optimization for AI-generated answers — whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can access and cite your content. A site can score 100 on SEO but 40 on AI Readiness.
How can I improve my AI Readiness score?
The most impactful fixes are: (1) Allow AI crawlers in your robots.txt, (2) Add rich Schema.org structured data like FAQPage and Organization, (3) Add FAQ sections with clear question-answer formatting, (4) Use lists and tables to structure key information, (5) Write clear, factual meta descriptions.
Does AI Readiness matter if I already rank well on Google?
Yes. AI search is growing rapidly — Perplexity has 100M+ monthly users, ChatGPT has 200M+ users, and Google AI Overviews appear for 30%+ of searches. Sites that rank well on Google but score poorly on AI Readiness are missing a growing share of search traffic.
Is the AI Readiness checker really free?
Yes. Foglift's full scan is completely free — all issues, all five category scores, AI action plan, and PDF export. No signup or payment needed.
