AI Readiness Scan Free tool by The Automators

Is your business AI-ready?Find out free.

Before AI can recommend you, it has to crawl, read, and understand your site. The free scan grades exactly that, A to F across crawler access, structured data, and content, in minutes. The paid deep-dive then asks the major AI engines whether they actually name you, and who they pick instead.

Who’s the best HVAC company in Calgary?

This plays out thousands of times a day. If AI can’t read your site, you’re not even in the running.

What buyers ask AI, every day
01 · The uncomfortable part

You spent years earning your reputation on Google.

Then your customers quietly changed where they ask.

When AI answers “who’s the best near me?” it names three businesses with total confidence — and never shows ten blue links again.

There is no page 2 in an AI answer.

You’re either recommended, or you don’t exist.

02 · What your free scan reveals

Your AI-readiness grade,
A to F.

The free scan crawls your site and grades how ready it is for AI to find, read, and understand you, across three weighted dimensions. No AI engines are queried; this is a pure on-page readiness audit.

Your grade

AI-readiness, A to F

C+

A sample grade. Yours arrives with a plain-English 90-day roadmap to raise it, free.

45% of your grade

AI crawler access

Can GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and CCBot actually reach you? We check robots.txt directives and live 401 / 403 / 451 blocking.

25% of your grade

Structured data

Is your LocalBusiness schema present and valid (name, address), and is an llms.txt published? Malformed schema costs you here.

30% of your grade

Content quality

Enough words, a single clean H1, extractable passages, trust signals (about, contact, credentials), and coverage of the questions buyers actually ask.

In the paid deep-dive

Does AI actually name you?

The grade tells you whether AI can find you. To learn whether it actually does, the deep-dive runs around 500 real prompts against ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and Google AI Overviews and measures what comes back.

03 · How it works

Three steps. Twenty seconds of effort.

  1. 1
    20 seconds

    Tell us about your business

    Your business name, website, city and state, and the category you compete in, plus your email if you’d like a copy sent over. We use your category and location to model exactly what buyers ask AI in your market.

  2. 2
    1-2 minutes

    We crawl and score your site

    We read your homepage and up to 10 key pages, plus your robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt. We check which AI crawlers you allow, whether your LocalBusiness schema is valid, how deep your content is, and how many of those buyer questions you actually answer, then score your on-site AI-readiness across three dimensions: Access, Schema and Content. No AI engines are queried, nothing is metered.

  3. 3
    On your screen (and your inbox)

    Your readiness score + 90-day plan

    Your on-site AI-readiness score (0–100) across Access, Schema and Content, the specific gaps working against you, and a prioritized 90-day plan to close them, live on screen in a minute or two, and we’ll email you the link too. Plus a locked preview of the paid deep-dive: whether AI assistants actually name and recommend you when buyers ask “who’s the best in your category near me.” Because being readable isn’t the same as being recommended, and that gap is the part worth measuring.

04 · Why trust us with this

06 · Questions, answered

Everything people ask before clicking

Is it really free?
Yes, completely. No credit card, no free trial that quietly starts billing, no “book a call to unlock your results.” We do sell paid plans (a $47 Comprehensive Roadmap, plus done-for-you Managed AEO/SEO) for businesses that want the full fix, but the readiness scan stands on its own and most people start there.
What exactly do I get?
A plain-English readiness report you can read in two minutes: your A to F grade for how ready your site is for AI, scored across crawler access, structured data, and content quality, plus the specific issues holding each one back and a 90-day roadmap to fix them. You also get a preview of the paid deep-dive, which measures whether the AIs actually mention and cite you.
How do you check my site, and is it accurate?
We crawl your homepage and up to ten key pages, plus your robots.txt, sitemap, and llms.txt, then grade them against exactly what AI crawlers and answer engines need to find, read, and trust you. It is a direct read of your live site, not an estimate. Measuring whether the AIs themselves mention you is the paid deep-dive, which runs hundreds of real prompts across the major engines.
How is this different from my Google ranking?
Google shows ten links and lets the customer choose. An AI assistant gives one answer and names just two or three businesses — there’s no page 2 to climb onto. You can rank #1 on Google and still never get mentioned by ChatGPT, because AI weighs different signals. This scan measures that new layer — often called AEO, answer engine optimization — not your blue-link rankings.
Will the free scan tell me if AI already recommends me?
Not directly. The free grade tells you whether AI can find and read you, which is the prerequisite for being recommended. Whether the engines actually name you, which ones do, and who they pick instead is what the paid deep-dive measures by querying them directly. A strong readiness grade is the first sign you are set up to be recommended.
Does this work for my industry?
If your customers ever ask “who’s the best ___ near me?” the answer is yes. We run it for local services and trades, clinics and dental, law and accounting, agencies, restaurants, real estate and home services. If it’s the kind of business an AI could recommend, this applies to you.
Is this just a sales funnel for your agency?
We’re upfront: yes, we’re a Calgary AI agency, and yes, some people who run the scan go on to buy our $47 Comprehensive Roadmap or hire us to manage their AI visibility end to end. But the free readiness scan is a real, finished deliverable, not a teaser. If it shows you’re already in good shape, great; if it shows gaps you’d rather close yourself, the roadmap tells you where to start at no cost.
Will you email me forever?
No. You’ll get your scan results, then the occasional genuinely useful note about AI visibility — nothing more. One-click unsubscribe, always, and we never sell your details.
