How Scoring Works
Your AI Visibility score reflects how many AI Discovery Files your website implements.
The Score
Your AI Visibility score is the number of AI Discovery Files found on your website, out of a possible 10. Each valid file adds 1 point. No weightings, no opaque algorithms, no hidden factors.
Score = Files Found (0–10)
