This scorecard shows which parts of your website already keep value and which one deserves the next fix.

Give each job one point when your live site can do it today. A promise to fix it later does not count yet.

Score these seven AI-ready website jobs

  1. You own the home. The useful work lives on a domain and hosting account you control. You can move it, update it, and keep it if a platform changes.
  2. The answer is visible. A person can read the main answer as page text without opening a download or running a private tool.
  3. The page has a clear route. Another useful page links to it with words that describe what the reader will get.
  4. Public access works. The page returns a normal success response and is open to the search crawlers you want to reach it.
  5. The structure tells the truth. The title, headings, visible copy, canonical address, and structured data describe the same subject.
  6. Your AI crawler choices are deliberate. You have made separate decisions for search discovery and model training instead of assuming every AI crawler does the same job.
  7. The page has a next job. It leads to another useful page, a product, a service, a signup, a download, or a measured action that supports the asset.

What your total means

ScoreWhat it meansBest next move
0 to 2The work exists, but the website is not keeping much of its value yet.Fix ownership and public access first.
3 to 5The core asset is there, but one missing job is weakening discovery or action.Repair the first failed check.
6 to 7The page has a strong owned foundation and a useful job.Measure the result and improve the weakest page around it.

Fix the first missing job

Do not respond to a low score by installing seven new tools. Fix the first missing job in the order the scorecard found it.

  • If you do not own the domain or publishing access, secure control before building more content.
  • If the answer is not visible, publish the useful part as clear page text.
  • If no page links to it, connect it from the closest useful topic.
  • If public access fails, repair the response or crawler rule.
  • If the structure disagrees with the page, make the title, copy, canonical address, and structured data tell one story.
  • If AI crawler choices are unclear, review the current OpenAI crawler controls and the rules for every crawler you choose to allow.
  • If the page has no next job, give the reader one useful action and measure it.

What Google checks still matter

Google says its AI features use the same core search requirements. The page still needs useful text, crawl access, indexing eligibility, internal links, and structured data that matches what the reader sees.

No score can promise a ranking or citation. The score tells you whether the website has the owned foundation needed to compete for either one.

Move the work up one layer

When the scorecard finds a solid page, give that page a job beside the rest of the site. The AI-ready website guide explains why those connections matter. The AI Asset Pyramid shows how one task can become part of an owned system.

If this is your first build, use the first asset plan and fix one missing job at a time.
