About
Built for the AI-search era.
People increasingly ask AI instead of searching. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity about your business, the answer comes from what those systems could read on your site. CrawlReady checks exactly that: can AI crawlers reach your pages, can they understand them, and is there anything worth citing? One scan, one score, a ranked list of fixes.
No subscription needed to scan. Monitoring is optional. No free tier with the good stuff held back. One token, one full scan.

Who's behind it
We built CrawlReady and ran the October 2026 study behind its scoring: we attempted 13,342 small-business websites across the US and scored the 10,369 that loaded. The average score was 67.1 out of 100. The scoring weights follow what that study showed. Read the study.
One honest limit
The score measures how completely AI systems can read a site. It does not measure, and cannot guarantee, whether an assistant will cite or recommend the business. That also depends on reviews, directories, competition, and the question asked.
