FAQ
Which hosting platforms are the most visible to AI search engines?
In our October 18, 2026 crawl, the top-scoring hosting platforms were Fly.io (100/100), Fastly (98/100), Heroku (98/100). The score measures how easily ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and AI agents can crawl, understand and use each product's homepage.
How do hosting platforms compare with the rest of the AI Visibility Index?
The 26 hosting platforms we track average 90/100, 4 points above the 86/100 average across all 538 SaaS and AI sites in the index.
What is the most common AI visibility gap among hosting platforms?
65% of the hosting platforms we checked miss "Question & answer content" (vs 71% across the whole index). Fix: Add an FAQ answering the exact questions buyers ask ChatGPT ("best X for Y", "X vs Y", "how much does X cost").
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.
