AI-Readiness Website Check | Live public scan

Check what machines can read.

Relay checks public website signals such as crawler access, business identity links, and structured data under the live versioned rubric. Live citation queries probe Perplexity Sonar directly; results are marked live and never blended into unverified claims. It is not an AI ranking, recommendation, citation, traffic, or placement prediction.

Free and no login. We do not store your scan. If you submit the optional post-score form, we save the website and score with the contact details you provide.

Nothing sends from this preview. Delivery and outcomes remain unknown until evidence exists.

Sample report, static reference

This is the method, run on us.

Evidence you can open beats a score you have to trust. Run the live scanner above on your own site for a versioned score; this static reference keeps each current public signal tied to a file you can inspect yourself.

These files prove only that the public artifacts exist. For the broader self-assessed view of findability, booking, and follow-through, use the free AI-Readiness Score.

How the workflow earns trust

Visibility work stays tied to a public signal and a re-check.

Relay can identify a technical gap and prepare the next fix. The owner still decides what changes, and a passing technical check never becomes a ranking or customer-outcome claim.
  1. 01 Find

    Surface one source-backed business signal.

  2. 02 Frame

    Prepare the safest move and explain why now.

  3. 03 Approve

    The owner edits, holds, skips, or releases the prepared action.

  4. 04 Follow through

    Track provider acceptance and delivery without calling them outcomes.

  5. 05 Prove

    Attach the real reply, booking, review, payment, or verified non-result.

  6. 06 Learn

    Propose preference changes for approval instead of silently adding autonomy.

AI visibility proof rail

A fixed signal is not a ranking result.

Change preparation and owner approval stay separate from deployment and re-checking. Citations, visits, conversions and verified value also remain separate.

Straight answers

What engine does the live citation check query?

Live citation queries probe Perplexity Sonar directly. We report that result separately and do not blend ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews into a composite number or claim to read what ChatGPT says about you. Live responses are marked as live retrieval at the timestamp of the scan.

What actually gets a small business recommended by AI assistants?

Mostly off-site reputation, not your website markup alone. For a local business, recommendations are driven by a complete Google Business Profile, recent authentic reviews, listing consistency across directories, and credible third-party mentions. Clean on-site files (schema, llms.txt, crawler policy) make your site machine-readable so AI can parse your facts, but off-site reputation is what wins the recommendation.

Does a good score guarantee I get cited or recommended by AI?

No. This is Relay's technical-readiness rubric. It does not query AI answer results or predict rankings, recommendations, citations, traffic, or conversions.

Can you submit my site to ChatGPT or register me with AI search?

There is no paid registration that guarantees inclusion. Google says its normal search fundamentals apply to AI features, and other providers publish crawler controls, but none promise placement.

Do on-site files like llms.txt get me cited by AI search?

Honestly, no. They make your site machine-readable, which is necessary, not sufficient. A 2026 study of roughly 500 million AI-bot requests (SE Ranking) found only a tiny share even fetched a /llms.txt file, and Google has said it does not plan to support llms.txt for its AI features. Off-site reputation drives AI recommendations, which is why we separate on-site technical readiness from off-site citations.

What do you deliberately not score?

Each result names its rubric version and excluded items. We always exclude AI placement and business outcomes. Experimental technical checks can change only in a new named rubric version.

Do you store my scan?

The live check itself is not stored. If you choose to submit the optional email form after seeing the score, we save the site, score summary, and contact details for founder review. The result link still re-runs a fresh scan when opened.

Can I fix the red items myself?

Some are settings, such as a robots.txt policy. Others, such as accurate structured data and matching FAQ markup, are developer changes. Fixing them improves public data clarity; it does not guarantee placement.
