Make your business readable by AI assistants
Eight questions that decide whether an AI assistant can describe your business accurately or is guessing. Score them, fix your two lowest, re-score in 90 days.
What it does
- Gives you the same eight questions our free AI visibility scorecard asks, as a fillable markdown form you score in a text editor.
- Forces a written piece of evidence beside every score, so a half answer cannot pass as a pass.
- Picks your two lowest questions for the fortnight instead of handing you an eight item backlog.
- Includes a starter llms.txt template to drop at the root of your domain once the other seven are handled.
Resource Teaser Preview
Score each one 0, 1 or 2.
- **0** - not true today.
- **1** - partly true.
- **2** - clearly true, and someone on your team could show the evidence.
Write the evidence in the notes column before you move on. A score you cannot point at is a 1.To unlock the full kit, complete prompt set, and automated workflow, request access below.
What you need
- Ten minutes of honesty, most of it spent on questions 3 and 7.
- Access to your website, your directory listings and your schema.
- Nothing to install. It is four markdown files.
Setup
- Open readiness-checklist.md and score each of the eight questions 0, 1 or 2, writing the evidence in the notes column as you go.
- Add your eight numbers and read the scoring key at the bottom of the file.
- Compare your answers with worked-example.md, which shows a fictional skincare brand fixing its two lowest scores in one afternoon.
- Take your two lowest questions and treat them as a fortnight of work.
- When you are ready, fill in llms-txt-template.md and upload it as llms.txt at the root of your domain.
On a real store
A fictional twenty-product skincare brand scores 8 out of 16, ignoring the missing structured data, then adds Product and LocalBusiness JSON-LD to one template and dates every existing post. Ninety days later it scores 11. No client results are claimed here, this is a made-up example to show how the form gets used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this get me cited by AI assistants?
We cannot promise that and the kit says so. Assistants do not publish their sources, so there is no way to verify citations from the outside. This improves the odds that a machine can read your business correctly. Nothing more.
Is llms.txt not dead on arrival, since nobody has to follow it?
It is a young convention with partial adoption, so we treat it as the cheapest item on the list rather than a priority. Score it as a 1 until it earns better, and fix questions 3 and 7 first.
How often should I re-run it?
Every 90 days is enough. The questions change slowly, so more often mostly measures your own mood.
