Frequently asked questions
General
friendly4AI is a website scanner that generates two complementary scores: an AI-Readiness score (how well AI can access and understand your content) and an AI Visibility score (whether AI assistants like ChatGPT actually recommend you), plus a practical checklist to improve both.
We fetch publicly available resources needed for evaluation (for example, robots.txt rules and page HTML), score your site across key parameters, and provide evidence and recommendations you can apply.
AI systems increasingly drive discovery and answers. If your content is hard to crawl or interpret, your website may be less visible in AI-driven experiences — and you'll miss traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI assistants.
AI Visibility shows how often AI assistants like ChatGPT mention your website when users ask questions in your industry. It's included in every scan alongside your AI-Readiness score.
GEO is the practice of optimizing your website to appear in AI-generated answers — the same way SEO optimizes for traditional search engines. friendly4AI is a GEO scanner: it measures both your technical AI-readiness and your actual AI Visibility to show how AI assistants discover and recommend your content.
Scoring & Reports
The score is a summary of multiple checks (for example: crawl access, semantic structure, structured data, metadata quality, accessibility signals, and content visibility without JavaScript). Your report explains which checks passed, which failed, and what to fix first.
Every scan produces a detailed report with parameter-by-parameter results, evidence you can verify, and prioritized recommendations. The report covers crawl access, semantic structure, structured data, metadata quality, accessibility signals, content visibility, and AI Visibility. Free and paid plans receive the same report — plans differ in scan limits, export formats, and scan frequency.
Some improvements are content or CMS changes (metadata, headings, content structure). Others may require engineering work (semantic HTML, structured data, accessibility). We aim to provide actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical teams.
AI-Readiness measures preparation — can AI crawl, parse, and understand your site? AI Visibility measures the outcome — does AI actually recommend you? Together, they show the full picture.
Technical
We evaluate publicly available signals that impact AI-readiness, such as robots.txt access rules, page HTML structure, structured data (Schema.org), metadata quality, and accessibility-related labels.
We evaluate what is visible in the initial HTML and may compare it to a rendered version when available. If key content only appears after client-side rendering, it can reduce AI-readiness.
We respect robots.txt directives. If scanning is disallowed, we do not generate a report for that site.
Pricing & Support
Yes. The Free plan includes 5 scans per month with full HTML reports. Paid plans (Pro and Teams) increase scan limits, add PDF/CSV/JSON exports, scheduled scans, longer scan history, and priority processing. See the Pricing page for details.
If a report is successfully generated and has a score, the site may appear on public surfaces by default. If you are the site owner and want your site removed, contact us and we will handle the request manually.
Our blog includes guides on AI-readiness topics such as structured data, AI crawlers, and improving your score. Each report also provides specific recommendations for your site. For plan-specific support options, see the Pricing page.
Yes. You can cancel your Pro or Teams subscription at any time from the Stripe Customer Portal. Your plan remains active until the end of the current billing period — no partial refunds, but no surprise charges either.
You'll see a notification that you've reached your plan's scan limit. You can wait for your next billing period to reset, or upgrade to a higher plan for more scans immediately.
We don't offer a time-limited trial, but the Free plan gives you 5 full scans per month with complete reports — the same depth as paid plans. Upgrade to Pro when you need more scans, exports, or scheduled scanning.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through Stripe. All payments are processed securely — we never store your card details.
