Why AI Readiness Matters
AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are increasingly used to research businesses, answer questions, and make recommendations. If your website isn't optimized for AI:
- AI systems may misunderstand your business
- You could be left out of AI-generated recommendations
- Competitors with better-structured sites get cited instead
- Your content won't surface in AI-powered search

FAQ
What makes a website "AI Ready"?
AI systems need clear, structured content to understand and cite your business. This includes:
- Schema.org structured data (JSON-LD)
- Clear content hierarchy (headings, paragraphs)
- Semantic HTML elements
- Accessible content (alt text, language tags)
How is this different from regular SEO?
Traditional SEO focuses on keywords and backlinks. AI readiness focuses on how well machines can understand your content, not just find it.
Does this affect Google rankings?
While not directly, many AI readiness factors (structured data, semantic HTML, accessibility) also improve traditional SEO.
How often should I run this check?
Run after major website changes, or monthly to track improvements.
