Methodology

Methodology

What this version actually measures.

The free check fetches a public URL and scores crawler access and the static HTML. It does not call a model. Mentions are not implemented in this version and have no score weight.

Free check

  • We parse robots.txt and separate search-crawler rules from training-crawler rules.
  • We request the homepage with those User-Agent strings and record the HTTP status.
  • We record noindex, nosnippet, title, meta description, sitemap.xml, and JSON-LD types.
  • Organization and SoftwareApplication are the JSON-LD types that satisfy that item. FAQPage and any other type are named and do not replace them.
  • Text length is the static HTML. JavaScript is not executed.
  • llms.txt is recorded with weight zero.
  • About 3 checks per IP per day. A domain may be cached for 24 hours.
  • The result is stored at /r/ and a random id. Anyone with the link can open it. It is not listed.

What is scored now

The free result shows the crawl items below. A model visibility score is not part of this version and is not for sale. Mentions are not tested and are not scored.

$19 report

The same crawler, meta, and structure evidence on pages we fetch from the homepage, the sitemap, and same-origin links. Up to 10 pages can be inspected. The cap is 10 pages. That is a cap, not a promise that 10 pages exist. One qualifying page is listed as one page. A priority is included only with the page URL and a verbatim excerpt from that fetch. Checkout is not open.

$29 pack

The report, plus files built from those fetches:

  • robots.txt.diff from the robots.txt we fetched.
  • An Organization and SoftwareApplication candidate from the observed title, description, and URL.
  • Priorities that cite the source URL and excerpt.
  • Question text copied from a fetched page only when that question is already there.

FAQPage markup, comparison outlines, and an llms.txt file are not part of this pack. Nothing is emailed. The customer page is /access/ plus a random token. That page reads the private record at /api/access/:token. It is not /r/ and not /private/. GET /api/orders/:id does not return the token.

What we do not do

  • Call a model, or report mentions or citations
  • Send email
  • Change your site or contact other sites
  • Treat a training-crawler block as a failed check
