Frequently asked questions
What is AI Readiness?
AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity increasingly answer questions directly instead of showing a list of search results. AI Readiness measures observable access, structure and content signals that can affect how easily these systems access, understand and reuse your website.
How is my AI Readiness score calculated?
VerisAI runs an 8-layer AI Readiness audit (L1–L8): whether AI crawlers can reach your site, whether they can read your pages, whether pages are indexable, whether your offer is clearly stated, technical foundation, metadata completeness, a citation-readiness proxy across 6 platforms, and content freshness. Each layer scores 0–100. A separate L9 adjustment then applies a capped deduction to the citation-readiness number for quality issues like popups or keyword stuffing.
Is the free check really free?
Yes. A one-time domain check and score are free, with no card required. Registering unlocks free Starter monitoring for AI Readiness, AI Citation and AI Visibility. The included Starter AI Act Audit is delivered separately from these three monitoring areas.
What is the EU AI Act risk tier?
It's a preliminary indicator of how exposed your business may be under the EU AI Act, tiered LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH based on public signals about your site and offering. It's a starting point for your own compliance review, not legal advice.
How often is my score updated?
Monitoring Starter updates AI Readiness every two weeks and checks AI Citation and AI Visibility monthly. Monitoring Pro adds on-demand rescans and up to 5 tracked competitors.
Does VerisAI guarantee AI assistants will cite my site?
No. AI Readiness measures technical and content signals. Starter AI Citation separately records whether the checked OpenAI or Gemini answer cited a verified brand page at that time. Neither result guarantees citations for other questions or future answers.
- AI Readiness Score
- A 0–100 score across 8 layers (L1–L8) describing observable signals for how discoverable, crawlable and citation-ready a website is to AI assistants.
- EU AI Act Risk Tier
- A LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH indicator of potential EU AI Act compliance exposure based on public signals, meant as a starting point rather than legal advice.
- AI Citation Readiness
- Per-platform readiness proxy (GPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, Meta) describing how well a page is set up to be cited, not confirmation that it has been cited.
