How we evaluate your site

We read your site the way AI tools do, without clicking buttons or running scripts. Then we follow the path a guest takes to book and answer four questions.

Scan my site

Four questions. One clear picture.

Is your site visible?

What we look at

  • Whether your robots.txt lets in the bots AI tools use to look things up
  • Whether a firewall or security setting turns AI bots away
  • Whether your homepage text is there without running scripts
  • Secure HTTPS, a sitemap, page titles and descriptions, and an llms.txt file

Are your properties visible?

What we look at

  • A listings or search page that links to your properties with normal links
  • Property pages that state sleeps, bedrooms, bathrooms, pets, parking, and location in plain text
  • VacationRental structured data on property pages
  • Guest reviews on your own pages, marked up so AI can quote them

Are your policies and company info clear?

What we look at

  • Your cancellation policy, check-in and check-out times, fees and taxes, and house rules, on your pages or a linked policy page
  • A phone number or email AI can read
  • Your business name, address, and phone in structured data
  • Local guides and FAQ pages that answer what guests ask

How far into booking can AI get?

What we look at

  • Whether rates are readable on property pages
  • Whether there is a way to ask about dates without a script-driven widget
  • Whether your Book button leads to a real booking page
  • Which booking engine your site uses, when we can tell

The booking path. Where does AI hit a wall?

Guests move from your homepage to checkout in five steps. We follow the same path and show you the first step an AI tool can't get past.

  1. 1

    Homepage

    Can an AI tool load your homepage and read real text, or is it turned away?

  2. 2

    Search results

    Is there a page that lists your properties with links it can follow?

  3. 3

    Property page

    Does each property page state its facts in plain text?

  4. 4

    Availability and quote

    Are rates readable, and is there a way to ask about dates without a script?

  5. 5

    Checkout

    Does the Book button lead to a booking page that loads?

Your score reflects what AI can actually see. Nothing else.

Each question counts according to how much it affects whether a guest can find and book you, so being reachable and readable matters most. The score doesn't change based on who built your site, and the fix guide covers everything we flag.

What your score means

  • 85+ Easy for AI tools to read.
  • 60 to 84 Readable, with gaps worth fixing.
  • Under 60 Hard for AI tools to read.

What we read

Public pages only. We don't log in, submit anything, or change anything.

The AI search bots we test access for

About the scan. Straight answers.

What does "without running scripts" mean?

Most AI tools read the HTML your server sends. They don't run JavaScript or click buttons, so anything that only appears after a script runs, like many booking widgets, is invisible to them. Some newer AI agents can operate a browser, but you can't count on it. If your site works without scripts, it works for every AI tool.

Which pages do you look at?

Your homepage, robots.txt, sitemap, and llms.txt; a listings or search page; up to three property pages; up to two policy or FAQ pages; and the page your Book link leads to. We also request your homepage the way two AI bots identify themselves, to see whether a firewall turns them away. We don't crawl the whole site, log in, or submit anything.

I don't want AI companies training on my content. Will blocking them hurt my score?

No. We separate the bots that look things up to answer questions (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot) from the ones that collect training data (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended). Block the training bots if you like. Only blocking the answer bots counts against you.

My booking engine built my site. Can I still fix these?

Usually. Most fixes are a robots.txt edit, a block of structured data, rates and policies written on the page, or a booking link that takes dates in the address. The fix guide spells out each one so you can send it to your booking engine's support team or your web person.

Can you check whether my details match Google and the OTAs?

Not yet. We look at whether your name, address, and phone are stated clearly on your own site. Matching them against your Google Business Profile and OTA listings is worth doing by hand, and the fix guide tells you what to compare.
