Getting Started

What AIScan is, how to run your first scan, and how to read the result.

What is AIScan?

AIScan is a free scanner that grades a website on how well it can be used by AI agents — chat assistants, autonomous agents, deep research tools, and AI shopping flows. Most "SEO" tools optimise for keyword ranking in a list of blue links. AIScan optimises for the world where an agent reads, summarises, and acts on your site on a user's behalf.

Every scan returns an overall score from 0 to 100, a letter grade (A–F), a maturity level (0–5), and a list of individual checks across five dimensions. Each failing check ships with plain-English remediation and, where useful, a one-click prompt you can paste into ChatGPT or Claude.

Run your first scan

  1. Go to the AIScan homepage.
  2. Paste any public URL into the input — full domain, subdomain, or specific page.
  3. Click Scan site. The scan takes about 20 seconds.
  4. Watch the live progress: platform detection, robots/sitemap fetch, content checks, capability checks.

You can scan up to 5 sites without an account. Create a free account for unlimited scans, private scans, scan history, and API keys.

From the command line

If you'd rather not open a browser, AIScan exposes a public REST endpoint:

curl 'https://aiscan.site/api/public/scan?url=https://example.com'

See REST API for the full reference.

Reading the report

The report has four parts:

  • Overall grade & level — your headline number, e.g. 72/100 · B · Level 3 (Indexable).
  • Dimension breakdown — a score per dimension (Discoverability, Content, Bot Access, Capabilities, Commerce). Each one is weighted by the type of site you run.
  • Quick wins — the three or four highest-leverage failing checks. Fix these first.
  • Full check list — every individual check, its status (pass / partial / fail / na / info), what the scanner observed, and how to fix it.

Scoring at a glance

AIScan uses a 0–100 score that maps cleanly to letter grades and a 5-level maturity scale. The shorthand:

  • 0–39 · F · Level 0–1 — Invisible. Agents can't find or read the site reliably.
  • 40–59 · D · Level 2 — Crawlable. Basic web hygiene, but no AI-specific signals.
  • 60–74 · C · Level 3 — Indexable. Sitemap, structured HTML, some bot guidance.
  • 75–89 · B · Level 4 — Readable. llms.txt, markdown negotiation, explicit AI bot rules.
  • 90–100 · A · Level 5 — Agent-Native. MCP, agent skills, OAuth discovery — agents can act, not just read.
