Is Your Site Ready for AI Search? Check 19 Signals in Seconds

What is AI Readiness?
AI Readiness measures how well your website is structured to be understood, cited, and recommended by AI-powered search engines. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on Google's algorithm, AI Readiness evaluates signals that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google SGE, and other AI assistants use to select sources for their answers.
19 signals we check
Entity Schema (Organization, Person, Product), FAQ Schema, Speakable markup, HowTo Schema, BreadcrumbList, sameAs links, llms.txt file, markdown-friendly content, content sections with clear headings, Q&A ratio, named entities, citation-worthy passages, definitions, Cloudflare AI bot blocking, comparison tables, TL;DR patterns, long-tail headings, conversational headings, and authority backlinks.
Why AI Readiness matters now
In 2025-2026, a growing share of search traffic is shifting to AI assistants. They don't just find pages — they extract answers and cite sources. If your site lacks Entity Schema, llms.txt, and structured content, AI systems will skip it in favor of competitors who have these signals.
