What the free AI Readiness audit checks

Enter any site above and you get a 0 to 100 score in about a minute, with no account and no card. The score is the weighted result of 19 checks across four categories, and every one of them is published below.

What we deliberately do not score

  • llms.txt Triple-null: the vast majority of llms.txt files receive zero crawler requests, Google states it ignores them, and no major engine reads them for citation. Detected and reported as informational only.
  • Schema markup as an AI-citation lever A large controlled test found no AI-citation lift from adding schema.org markup, and Google states no special structured data is needed for AI features. Schema is scored near zero, for classic rich results and Bing grounding only.
  • Per-run AI rank tracking Single-run AI answers are statistically unstable (same-day identical queries agree on citations only a few percent of the time), so a per-run rank is noise. Kuroma surfaces mention rates over repeated runs instead.
  • Keyword density optimization Keyword stuffing tests causally negative for generative engine citation and has been dead in classic search for years. Nothing in this audit rewards it.

What is Generative Engine Optimization?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of measuring and improving how AI assistants describe, cite, and recommend your brand. Unlike traditional SEO, which optimizes for a ranked list of blue links, GEO optimizes for the synthesized answer an AI gives directly to the buyer. Kuroma is one of the few AI brand intelligence platforms that scans 7 leading AI engines, verifies every claim against the live web, and benchmarks you across 142 markets: a web-grounded view of your AI reputation.

How does Kuroma measure your AI visibility?

  1. Scan We query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and Google AI with synthetic buyer personas to capture exactly how AI talks about your brand.
  2. Verify Our grounding layer cross-references every AI claim against real web sources, so you know which statements are accurate and which are hallucinated.
  3. Benchmark We compare your mention share and AI Readiness score against competitors across 142 markets and 51 industries, so you can see where you stand instead of guessing.
  4. Improve You get a prioritized list of fixes (content gaps, schema, and trust signals) that measurably raise how AI recommends you.

What does this look like in practice?

The takeaway: what AI says about you changes constantly. A first scan can surface, for example, an AI engine quoting an outdated price or a discontinued plan, the kind of error this method is designed to catch. Correcting the underlying source pages and your Brand Facts gives the AI engines accurate information to cite, which is exactly why continuous, web-grounded monitoring matters.

When Google shows an AI Overview, users click a traditional result only 8% of the time, versus 15% when there is no AI answer (Pew Research Center, 2025). As buyers increasingly read the AI answer instead of clicking through, measuring what AI actually says about your brand matters more than ever.

You get a 0-100 score across 19 factors in four categories (on-page content, technical optimization, authority signals, and AI readiness), the top fixes that make your pages easier for AI engines to read and cite, and a shareable score card.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is about optimizing your brand's visibility in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on Google's link-based rankings, GEO ensures AI platforms accurately represent your brand when users ask questions about your industry, products, or competitors.

Kuroma uses a Grounding Layer that cross-references AI claims against real web sources via Google Search and Perplexity. Every fact extracted from AI responses is verified, so you know which claims are grounded in reality and which are hallucinated. This goes beyond just monitoring what AI says.

Kuroma offers a free tier ($0/month) for 1 brand with biweekly monitoring. Paid plans start at Starter ($39/month, 2 brands, weekly monitoring), Pro ($79/month, 5 brands), Business ($249/month, 10 brands), and Enterprise ($699/month, 20 brands).

Kuroma monitors 7 AI platforms simultaneously: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode. All platforms are queried during each scan using standardized prompts for consistent, comparable results.

Brand research takes about 2 minutes for new brands. For popular brands already in our database, results are instant. Ongoing prompt monitoring runs automatically on your configured schedule.

Buyer personas are synthetic user profiles that simulate how different types of customers search for products in your category. Kuroma uses up to 8 personas per scan, each with different decision styles, expertise levels, and buying intents, revealing how AI responds differently to different types of queries.

Yes. Each user's brand data is fully isolated. We never share your brand intelligence, scan results, or prompt data with other users. Your API keys are encrypted at rest. We use Google Cloud infrastructure with enterprise-grade security.
