If you've ever wondered whether ChatGPT can actually read your website — or why your site doesn't appear when someone asks an AI for recommendations in your category — this is how you find out.

Checking your AI visibility score takes 15 seconds and is free. Here's exactly how to do it.

Step 1: Go to conduitscore.com

Open conduitscore.com. No account required. No email needed. The homepage has a single input field.

Step 2: Enter your domain

Type your domain into the field. You can enter it with or without "https://" — the scanner handles both. Press "Scan" or hit Enter.

What gets checked: The scanner sends a real request to your website and analyzes 46 signals across 7 categories. This includes reading your robots.txt, fetching your HTML, parsing your structured data, checking for llms.txt, evaluating your content structure, and measuring technical health signals.

What doesn't happen: Your site is not modified. No data is sent to your server beyond a standard HTTP GET request. The scan is read-only.

Step 3: Read your score

In about 15 seconds, you'll see:

Your overall score (0–100). This is your AI visibility score — how well your site can be found, read, and cited by AI systems.
7-category breakdown: Scores for Crawler Access, Structured Data, LLMs.txt, Content Structure, Technical Health, Citation Signals, and Content Quality.
Issues list: Every gap found, sorted by severity (critical → warning → info).
Fix priority: Which issues to fix first for the highest score impact.

What the Score Means

Score Range	What It Means
80–100	Excellent — well-optimized for AI discoverability
65–79	Good — most signals in place, minor gaps remain
40–64	Moderate — significant gaps that limit AI citations
0–39	Poor — critical failures; AI crawlers may be blocked entirely

The average score across all ConduitScore scans is approximately 41/100. Most sites have significant room for improvement.

Step 4: Fix the top issues

The scan returns a prioritized issue list. The highest-priority issues are the ones blocking the most AI visibility. Common critical issues:

GPTBot blocked in robots.txt: Your site is telling OpenAI's crawler to stay out. ChatGPT cannot read your content. Fix: add User-agent: GPTBot with Allow: / to your robots.txt.

Missing Organization schema: AI systems don't know what your company does. Fix: add a JSON-LD Organization block to your homepage <head>.

No llms.txt file: AI agents have no structured guide to your best pages. Fix: publish a plain-text llms.txt at yoursite.com/llms.txt.

No intro paragraph detected: Your key pages don't have a direct-answer opening. AI systems can't extract a citable statement. Fix: rewrite your intros to answer the page's main question in the first 200 words.

How to Re-Scan After Fixing

After you make changes, wait at least 30 minutes (to allow caches to clear), then scan again. You'll see your updated score and a new issues list. The free tier allows 3 scans per month.

What a Good Scan Result Looks Like

Crawler Access: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot all showing "Allowed"
Structured Data: Organization + FAQPage + Article schema on relevant pages
LLMs.txt: File present and formatted with direct links to key pages
Content Structure: Clear H2/H3 headings, direct-answer intros, numbered lists
Technical Health: HTTPS, sub-2s load time, no render-blocking errors
Citation Signals: Named author, publication date, external links to authoritative sources
Content Quality: Specific, citable claims in every major section

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I check a competitor's site? Yes. You can scan any public website. Competitor scores are useful for benchmarking — if your competitor scores 78 and you score 41, that's a concrete gap to close.

Is the scan really free? Yes. The free tier allows 3 scans per month with no account. Paid plans ($29+/month) allow more scans and include advanced features.

How long does a scan take? Usually 10–20 seconds depending on site response time.

What's a good AI visibility score? 65+ is good. 80+ is excellent. Most sites score in the 35–55 range. Even a well-maintained site often has one or two critical issues that cap its AI visibility.

Does AI visibility affect my Google rankings? Indirectly. Structured data and technical health improvements overlap between SEO and AI visibility. But AI visibility is not measured by Google's algorithm. The two scores are correlated but distinct.

Should I scan every page or just the homepage? The scanner checks a site holistically — it reads your robots.txt, homepage, and a sample of other pages. For most sites, a single scan gives an accurate overall picture. If you have a specific landing page or blog post you want to optimize for AI citations, scan that URL directly.
