Where to start with AI search
One page. 16 checks. The three fixes to make first.
Paste one page from your site. You get a score, a plain English summary of what AI can tell about your business, and the three fixes to make first. Usually under 15 seconds, free, with no signup and nothing held back.Paste one page. Free, no signup, usually under 15 seconds.
How it works
From one page to your three fixes.
The free audit crawls one page, scores 16 technical signals, and shows what one AI model can infer so you can inspect the technical evidence behind the result. It is a technical baseline rather than a measure of how often an engine names you, a distinction we set out in what an AI visibility score leaves out.
Enter your URL
Paste any page URL. We analyze that single page only, not your whole site. This lets you check your homepage, a key landing page, or any page you want AI to understand.
We score 16 technical signals
The audit checks structured data, entity clarity, content depth, trust signals, snippet eligibility, technical SEO, and other public signals that shape how AI reads the page.

One AI model extracts the business, services, location, and credibility signals it can infer from the page.
You get a score, evidence, and fixes
The results show a 0 to 100 score, a signal-by-signal breakdown, the exact phrases AI extracted from your page, and the top 3 actions ranked by impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the AI search audit
What does the free AI search audit check?
The audit scans one URL across 16 technical signals, including structured data, schema validity, AI access files, entity consistency, content depth, citations, freshness, FAQ content, snippet eligibility, technical SEO, and crawler access. It also shows what one AI model can infer from the page.
How long does the audit take?
Around 5 to 15 seconds for most pages. We crawl the URL, score 16 technical signals, and ask one AI model what it can infer from the content. You get a 0 to 100 score, a signal-by-signal evidence breakdown, what AI extracted from your page, and the top 3 fixes ranked by impact.
Is the AI search audit really free?
Yes. The page-level audit is free within fair-use rate limits of 10 runs per hour per IP. The optional Full AI Visibility Report and execution work are paid services, but the page check itself stays free.
Can I audit any website?
Yes, any public URL with HTML content works. The audit covers a single page at a time, so you can run it on your homepage, a key landing page, or any specific URL you want AI engines to understand. You do not need to be the site owner to run it, which also makes the tool useful for benchmarking competitors.
How does the AI search audit differ from a traditional SEO audit?
A traditional SEO audit grades how a page ranks in search results, focusing on signals like backlinks, keyword targeting, and Core Web Vitals. The Canonry AI search audit grades how easily AI answer engines can read, trust, and cite the page. It looks at structured data depth, entity consistency, AI-readable files (llms.txt and llms-full.txt), definition-style content blocks, FAQ and HowTo schema, and AI crawler access in robots.txt. The two audits overlap on technical SEO basics but diverge on what counts as a citation-worthy signal.
Which AI engines does the audit cover?
The 16-signal technical score measures the page rather than testing each answer engine. The inference step uses one Google-hosted AI model. Treat what it extracts as one model's reading of the page, not a multi-engine visibility result.
What page data is sent to the AI model?
For the inference step, Canonry sends up to 6,000 characters of publicly available visible page text and JSON-LD structured data to Google Cloud Vertex AI in the United States. Canonry may cache the domain and derived result for up to 24 hours, but it does not cache the full page content.
Will the audit fix my score automatically?
No. The free AI search audit diagnoses the page and shows which of the 16 technical signals need work, but it does not edit your site. After you review the evidence and the top 3 fixes, you can implement the recommendations, share the report with a developer, or request the Canonry Full AI Visibility Report and Canonry Managed execution.
How often should I run the AI search audit?
For most sites, monthly is enough to catch regressions from content updates, schema changes, or new framework releases. Canonry re-audits client sites after every meaningful content or schema change because answer engines re-crawl and re-rank citations frequently. If you publish blog posts or change service descriptions weekly, run the audit on the changed page within a day or two of the change to confirm structured data and entity signals stayed consistent.
