Can AI crawlers reach you at all?
We read your robots.txt the way GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot and Google-Extended read it, and check whether any of them are blocked at the door.

Free AI Readiness Scan for Contractors: Is AI sending your next job to a competitor?
Homeowners are asking ChatGPT and Google's AI for a contractor instead of scrolling search results. Enter your website and we'll read it the way AI search does, then show you exactly what they can and can't see — with the real steps to fix it.
No account, no payment, no changes to your site. We only read pages that are already public.
What the scan actually checks
Eight scored factors across two pillars: the health of your website, and whether AI search can read, trust and quote it. Nothing is estimated — if we could not measure something, the report says so instead of filling in a number.
Is your page readable without JavaScript?
We count how many words are in the raw HTML before any script runs. AI search mostly quotes what is already there; a page that only fills in inside a browser has nothing to quote.
Does your schema name your trade?
We look for construction-specific structured data — Plumber, HVACBusiness, Electrician, RoofingContractor, GeneralContractor — plus service area, hours, and the profiles that corroborate you.
Can a homeowner call you in one tap?
We check for real tel: links in the HTML, not phone numbers baked into an image or loaded by a widget. This is the single most common miss on contractor sites.
Are your service areas and license visible?
We look for named cities and counties, your license number, emergency availability, and Google Guaranteed signals — the details AI search needs before it will name you.
How fast does the page become usable?
We pull real page-speed data where it is available and score how quickly a homeowner on a phone can actually do something.
Why AI search matters more for contractors than for almost anyone else
Home-service demand is urgent, local and one-shot. A homeowner with water on the floor or no heat in February is not comparison-shopping across ten tabs — they want a name and a number. When AI search answers them, they get a handful of businesses, and the first one they can call in a tap usually wins the job.
What makes AI search recommend one contractor over another?
AI search recommendations favor businesses that can be described confidently: a site whose text can be read without running JavaScript, structured data that states the trade and the service area, a phone number in a real link, consistent details across Google, Angi, BBB and Nextdoor, and pages that answer questions in plain, quotable sentences.
What usually goes wrong on a contractor website?
- A template site that renders its content in the browser, leaving the raw HTML nearly empty.
- Generic LocalBusiness schema — or none — instead of the specific trade type.
- A phone number set as an image, or hidden behind a chat widget.
- Service areas listed only on a map graphic, with no city names in text.
- Robots rules copied years ago that now block the AI crawlers by name.
Each of these shows up in the scan as a specific finding with the evidence we found on your own pages — and two ways to resolve it.
