How Ready Is Your Website for AI Search?

What your homepage tells AI about your business
AI search doesn’t browse your website like a person. It relies on your site’s code, structure, content, and technical signals to understand who you are, what you offer, and whether your content is accessible and easy to interpret.
The AIQ Pulse Check analyzes the signals AI systems can see on your homepage to give you a quick snapshot of how prepared your site is for AI search.
The AIQ Pulse Check is a homepage-level scan designed to provide an initial snapshot of your AI readiness.
BFO's full AIQ assessment evaluates your entire website, AI visibility, competitive landscape, content opportunities, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions, answered
Something we didn't cover? Our team is happy to talk it through.
What does "AI ready" mean?
It means AI search tools can find your site, understand what you offer and trust it enough to cite or recommend you. Your AIQ score measures how close you are.
Is the Pulse Check really free?
Yes. Enter your domain to get your score at no cost. There's no obligation to buy anything afterward.
How is it different from the full AIQ analysis?
The Pulse Check scores a sample of AIQ's checks on one page. The full AI Readiness & Visibility Analysis covers 45 checks across five scoring groups for your whole site, including how your brand shows up in AI answers.
Why does it only check my homepage?
Your homepage is the front door to your brand, which makes it a fast and useful snapshot. It can't show how your whole site performs. That's what the full AIQ analysis is for.
How Do You Measure AI Visibility?
We evaluate factors such as citations, mentions, prompt visibility, AI Overview presence, competitive visibility, topical coverage, and overall discoverability across AI platforms. Unlike traditional SEO, AI search doesn't always show up in standard analytics, so we build reporting that surfaces these signals clearly and consistently.
What Is the Difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO focuses on improving visibility in traditional search results, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on answer-based search experiences, and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on generative AI platforms. In practice, strong technical SEO, authoritative content, clear site structure, and topical expertise support success across all three, which is why we take an integrated approach rather than treating them as separate strategies.
Does AI Search Optimization Replace SEO?
No. AI visibility and SEO are closely connected. Strong SEO fundamentals remain one of the most important drivers of AI visibility, and the two strategies are best managed together rather than in separate silos.
