- Which AI tools name you when customers ask, and who they name instead
- Your website page by page: is each one doing its job?
- Your Google profile next to your nearest rivals
- What to fix first, in order, and what each fix wins
Free and no obligation. We’ll reply by email or WhatsApp, and never spam you.
What the check looks atAll 32 checks, and why each one matters.
Your page, robots.txt and llms.txt, plus a sample of pages from your sitemap, read the way a crawler reads them, with no JavaScript run.
Can Google find and read it?
- How fast the server answersTimed from Singapore and graded against Google’s own numbers: a healthy server hands the page over in under 0.8 seconds.
- A secure connectionBrowsers warn people away from pages without HTTPS, and Google prefers secure pages.
- Allowed on GoogleOne tag can tell Google to leave a page out of its results.
- Google and Bing let inA robots.txt file can shut search engines out of the whole site. ChatGPT search leans on Bing too.
- Set up for phonesGoogle ranks the phone version of your site first.
- A clear page titleThe title is the blue link people click in Google, and the first thing AI reads about the page.
- A page descriptionIt’s often the text under your link in Google, and a ready summary for AI.
- A main headingOne clear heading tells readers and machines what the page is about.
- A sitemapA sitemap lists every page so Google doesn’t have to find them one link at a time.
- One main addressA canonical tag tells Google which address is the real one when a page has several.
- Star ratings that countGoogle ignores star ratings a business publishes about itself. Stars only work on your Google profile and on review sites.
Can AI tools read it?
- Words AI can readMost AI crawlers don’t run JavaScript. If your words only appear after it runs, they see a blank page.
- AI search let inThese crawlers decide whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude can read you and name you in an answer.
- Your business, described in codeStructured data tells search engines and AI your name, what you do, where you are and when you’re open.
- Complete business detailsName, hours, area and links to your profiles, all in the code. The more complete it is, the less AI has to guess.
- Pages that answer questionsAI tools quote pages that answer real customer questions. A site that only describes itself gives them nothing to quote.
- AI training crawlersBlocking these only keeps your content out of AI training. It doesn’t stop AI search, so it’s your call.
- An llms.txt fileOptional. Google ignores it and few AI tools read it yet, so it’s never a fault.
What your customers hit
- Everything loads securelyOne http image or script on an https page gets blocked or flagged by the browser, and things quietly break.
- A preview when sharedMost Singapore customers meet links in WhatsApp. A link with no preview image arrives bare, and bare links get fewer taps.
- Images with descriptionsAlt text is how Google Images finds your pictures, and how screen readers describe them.
- Light, modern imagesWebP and AVIF are the same pictures at a fraction of the weight. Heavy images are the most common reason a page feels slow.
- Tap to callOn a phone, a number that isn’t a tel: link has to be copied out by hand. Some customers won’t bother.
- A current footer yearAn old copyright year quietly tells visitors that nobody is looking after the site.
Across your site
- Pages read from your sitemapWe read a sample of your other pages the way a crawler does, and the next four checks come from them.
- Sitemap pages that loadA sitemap that lists broken pages wastes Google’s visit and makes the site look unmaintained.
- Sitemap pages Google may showA page that is in the sitemap but marked noindex tells Google “here’s a page, don’t show it”. Usually a mistake.
- Every page says what it isPages sharing one title, or missing titles and descriptions, compete with each other and blur what each page is for.
- Pages with enough to readNear-empty pages dilute the site. Google and AI skip pages that say almost nothing.
- Signs of lifeThe sitemap’s own dates show when anything last changed. Quiet sites get read less often, by Google and by AI.
- One address, not twoIf the www and non-www versions both answer without redirecting to one, Google splits your site’s strength between two copies.
- Missing pages say 404If a made-up address answers like a real page, Google keeps indexing junk and broken links never get noticed.
Questions
About the site check.
Why does it matter whether AI tools can read my website?
More customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI answers who to call. Those tools can only name a business they can read.
If your words only appear after JavaScript runs, or your robots.txt shuts their crawlers out, they skip you and name someone else.
What does the site check look at?
Your page, your robots.txt, your sitemap and a sample of your other pages, read the way a crawler reads them.
It checks that Google, Bing and the search crawlers behind ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude are let in, that your words are in the page before any JavaScript runs, how fast your server answers, and what customers hit: link previews in WhatsApp, tap-to-call, image weight, whether anything on the site has changed lately, and whether your site quietly exists at two addresses.
Is my website address or result stored?
The check itself keeps nothing: we fetch the pages, run the checks and send the result back to your screen. If you ask for the PDF or the free analysis, we keep what you type in that form, because that’s how we deliver it.
The check names itself as SCALR-SiteCheck when it visits, and it only reads public pages.
Does a clean result mean my site will rank?
No. It means nothing technical is stopping Google and AI tools from reading you. Whether they rank you or name you depends on what your pages say, how well they answer what customers ask, and who links to you.
A site can pass every technical check and still sit on page 9 for the searches that matter.
Can the check tell me where I rank on Google?
No, and be wary of free tools that claim to. Reading Google’s results by machine is against Google’s terms, so honest rank data comes from paid sources, and your position is different for every search anyway.
The quick manual version: open a private browser window and search for your main service and your area. The page you land on is what customers see. In the free analysis we do this properly, by hand, across the searches that matter for your business.
