Our proprietary score for how ready your site is to get named by AI. Two-plus years of testing — three pillars, seven layers, and every signal in our registry — distilled into one clear verdict. It pinpoints exactly what is keeping AI from naming you, and what to fix first.
AIFSO-7 — AIFSO 7-Layer Foundation
The seven things AI looks at to understand and trust your site — from whether it can even read your pages to whether your business facts add up.
ASEO+ — Advanced Search Engine Optimization Plus
Everything regular SEO misses but AI answer engines care about — your proof, authority, and the signals that make AI confident recommending you.
ACI — AI Citation Index
Whether AI actually names your business when real buyers ask — measured across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok. The proof, not the theory.
CRO — Crawlability & Retrieval Optimization
Can AI's crawlers actually reach and read your pages? If they can't get in, nothing else matters.
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Does your site answer buyer questions clearly enough that AI can lift the answer straight off your page?
GEO — Generative Engine Optimization
Does AI see you as worth citing — clearly positioned in your category, services, and market?
PWO — Progressive Web Optimization
Is your site fast, mobile-ready, and easy to load — for both people and AI?
EEO — Experience Engine Optimization
Does your site feel trustworthy and clear to a real buyer — reviews, proof, and an easy next step?
LEO — LLM Engine Optimization
Can AI actually understand who you are, what you do, and who you serve — without getting confused?
DSO — Data Source Optimization
Can AI trust your machine-readable facts — your business name, location, services, and the behind-the-scenes data that proves who you are?
LLM — Large Language Model
The kind of AI behind ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — the engines your buyers are already asking for recommendations.
Prompt Intelligence
The real questions buyers ask AI about businesses like yours — and exactly what AI answered, word for word.
Quick win
A fix that's genuinely easy to do but still moves the needle. Knock these out first.
Sample report. This uses example data for a fictional business (Clearwater Roofing) so you can see the real report format. Your business, scores, and results will be your own — and this format may evolve as we keep improving the algorithm.

Built to get AI to name you
How AI sees Clearwater Roofing — and how we change it.
We asked the AI engines real buyer questions about you. Here's whether they named you, who they named instead, and exactly how we fix it.
Named in 2 of 10 buyer questions — but by only 3 of the 30 individual AI answers. That gap is what this report closes.
Your score summary
How the two scores work
Two numbers, two jobs: AI Readiness (1–5) is the foundation you control. AIFSO (300–850) is the outcome — whether AI actually names you. Foundation can be perfect while the outcome lags; the fix plan is the bridge.
Your two scores: AI Readiness — how solid your site's mechanical foundation for AI answers is, measured and reproducible — and your AIFSO Score — the bottom-line grade across the full stack: foundation, authority signals, and whether AI actually names you when buyers ask, with the real answers as receipts — a credit score for AI answers.
Your foundation feeds the verdict: build the readiness score, and the AIFSO score follows.
Executive summary
Your report in 60 seconds
AI mentions you, but rarely — competitors are winning most of the answers.
Your AIFSO Score is 608 of 850 — Growing. Think credit score, but for AI answers: the higher it climbs, the more often AI hands buyers your name. Your AI Readiness score is 4 of 5 — Built Solid — that's the foundation you control.
When we asked 10 real buyer questions, AI named you in 2. Summit Roofing got named 6 times.
Do this first: Add concise question-and-answer sections and clearer headings around the roof repair questions Cedar Falls buyers actually ask — it's first because it moves your visibility most.
What happens next: This report is your baseline. For the next 90 days you get a re-check every week — we run it automatically, or you trigger it the moment you make a fix. Either way you get an email showing what changed. Make a change, watch the number move. That's the proof working.
AI Readiness grades your site's mechanical foundation for AI answers: can AI reach, read, and trust your site? Every check is machine-measured and reproducible — fix something, rescan, and watch the signal flip.
It deliberately does not judge writing quality or whether AI names you — that's the AIFSO Score's job. Foundation here, outcome there.

AIFSO Score
Concept guide
What is AIFSO?
AIFSO — Artificial Intelligence Full-Stack Optimization — is our proprietary deep diagnostic: 59 signals across your AIFSO-7 foundation and ASEO+ authority — what AI uses to find, read, and trust you — combined with whether AI actually named you. One clear level, from Absent to The G.O.A.T.
The full test: your foundation, your authority signals, AND whether AI actually names you — with truth gates, so this level can never sit high while AI isn't saying your name. Never named anywhere = Absent; named virtually everywhere = The G.O.A.T.
AI Full-Stack Optimization — your bottom-line grade: foundation, authority, and whether AI names you, in one verdict.

Clearwater Roofing has enough foundation to compete, but AI still names competitors more often in high-intent roofing questions.
What held it back
Service-area proof and local differentiators need expansion.
What would move it
Build direct answer sections around storm repair, roof replacement, and inspection questions.
02 · The proof
What AI actually says about you.
Why this section matters: whoever AI names gets the call — and the businesses it skips never know the buyer existed. Below are the exact answers your buyers are hearing right now.
We asked the AI answer engines behind ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude & Grok 10 real buyer questions about businesses like yours — then read every answer to see who gets named.
Every answer below is the word-for-word reply the model returned when we asked. That's why they're specific, and why they shift as the web does. Results come from the ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude & Grok model families via API and can differ from a given user's app session.

Your 7 foundation layers
Concept guide
The 7 foundation layers
These seven layers are the foundation of your website — how ready it is for AI to read, understand, and trust, from crawlability to data trust. Together they roll into your AI Readiness level.
Whether AI actually names you is a separate measurement — the buyer-question test behind your AIFSO Score. A strong foundation is what makes naming possible; it doesn't guarantee it yet.
Each layer shows as a band so you can see the whole picture at a glance, without a wall of numbers. Where a signal can't be read directly from your site, we score it neutral rather than assume for or against you — so a band reflects what we could actually verify, not a guess.
Where AI can read you — and where it can't.
Every layer AI relies on, shown as a band. The shortest bars are where you're hardest for AI to understand, trust, or name.

high prioritymedium effort
Add concise question-and-answer sections and clearer headings around the roof repair questions Cedar Falls buyers actually ask.
What we found
The pages we read don't ask or answer buyer questions — AI has nothing to lift. We didn't find an FAQ on the pages we read.
Why it costs you
Direct answers give AI language it can reuse safely when buyers ask.
Do this
Add a question-and-answer section to your key pages ("How much does X cost?", "How fast can you come out?").
Write each answer in 2–4 plain sentences directly under the question.
Create an FAQ page answering the 6–10 questions customers actually ask you.

What we found
We didn't find structured data (schema) on the pages we read — machines are guessing who you are.
Why it costs you
Consistent entity facts make the business easier for AI to verify and trust.
Do this
Ask your web person to add LocalBusiness structured data to the homepage: name, phone, address, hours.
Set the schema type to your actual category (Restaurant, Store, Roofer, Dentist…) — not just "WebSite".

The Sidecar · done for you
Don't rebuild your website. Give AI its own.
Your website is your SEO-perfected site — tuned for Google and the customers who already know you. We leave it alone. A Sidecar is a companion website we build beside it, purpose-built for one job: winning AI answers.
How it works: we take everything this AIFSO report found, scan your existing site for the true facts and proof already on it, and hand-build your Sidecar from both. Then we tend it monthly as the AI engines change their minds (they do — it's kind of their whole thing).
What we build for Clearwater Roofing — from this exact report. Every page below exists because your report called for it: a question you lost, proof you already have, or a fact AI couldn't confirm.

Can't I just add AI optimization to my current site's SEO?
You can — but right now companies like Google are quietly folding AI into their own search results, and reworking the site that already ranks is how you lose the rankings you've earned. A Sidecar lets you embrace AI answers and AI search with zero risk to your current standing.
Why a second site instead of fixing mine?
Your current site is tuned for Google and the humans who already know you — changing it risks the rankings and trust you've built. AI answers want a different kind of page. A second domain lets us build purpose-built-for-AI without touching anything you rely on. We even buy and own the domain for you (unless you'd rather own it yourself).
Will this replace or compete with my website?
No. The Sidecar lives beside your site, never in place of it. Your site keeps doing its job with your existing customers and your SEO; the Sidecar goes after the AI answers your site was never built to win.
Is my Sidecar just a generic template?
No. Every Sidecar is built from your specific business — your services, your service areas, your proof, and exactly what your AIFSO report found. No two are alike, and nothing goes live until you've reviewed it and we've made any changes you want.
What does it cost?
One payment to launch your Sidecar — that covers the build and your first month of monitoring — then $249/mo starting in month two. If you bought the $79 AI True Score Full Report, that $79 comes straight off your launch fee. Exact numbers are on the Sidecar page.
What does the monthly fee actually do?
AI answers and competitors move every week. We research who's getting named in your market and make fixes to your Sidecar to keep you ahead — tuning it as the engines shift so you keep climbing instead of quietly slipping. You also get weekly and monthly reports, so you always know where you stand and what we changed.
