Methodology

How AI1GEO reads a local business page.

AI1GEO checks public pages for search access, clear business details, and structured data (machine-readable facts). It prepares fixes for you to review. These checks do not measure whether your business appears in AI answers.

Crawler access

Robots, noindex, sitemap, redirects, canonical hints, and whether key public pages can be fetched cleanly.

Readable facts

Business name, contact paths, service areas, opening-hours signals, service wording, and conflicts that need owner review.

Structured data

Whether JSON-LD exists, whether it matches visible facts, and which schema should wait until facts are confirmed.

Safe first fixes

Small publishable changes that clarify public facts before broader service-page, schema, or AI-search work.

What a score means

A readiness score is a review queue, not a promise.

The score compresses crawlability, visible fact coverage, structured-data clarity, and review gaps into a practical starting point. It tells operators what to fix first; it does not claim that an AI system will cite or rank the business.

Boundaries

  • Limited audit: no JavaScript rendering. When the rendering service is unavailable, the free fallback reads only one initial HTML page, respects robots.txt, and stops on unknown robots rules, oversized HTML or network failures. Content absent from that HTML may still exist after JavaScript rendering.
  • AI1GEO does not guarantee Google rankings, AI Overview inclusion, Gemini citations, or conversion lift.
  • Demo and example reports are public sample methodology unless clearly marked as saved provider-backed reports.
  • Saved provider-backed reports stay access-controlled and noindex unless a separate product policy changes that boundary.
  • Confirm draft facts with the owner and make them visible on the website before publishing matching schema. Reviews, ratings, prices, licenses, and claims stay out until verified.
