How is the AI visibility score calculated?

RankRoot checks four areas on each homepage: AI crawler access (robots.txt rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and others), answer-engine content (title, headings, FAQ-style content, server-rendered text), structured data (JSON-LD, Organization/Product schema) and agent readiness (llms.txt, discoverable API or MCP server). Each area is scored 0 to 100 and combined into one score.

When was this data collected, and can a company update its score?

Scores are a snapshot from our crawler on October 18, 2026. They are not updated automatically. Anyone can rescan a site live for free, and we refresh the index periodically.
