What the test looks at
Four areas, weighted by how strongly each one is linked to being named by AI tools.
The 12 levers, from most to least impact
This is the full guide. Each lever shows how much it's worth out of 100 and where the recommendation comes from. Tap any lever to open it.
The test tells you which of these you're missing, ordered by how many points each one costs you.
What doesn't move the needle
Four popular shortcuts that won't get you recommended. Time spent on them is time not spent on the levers above.
How the score is calculated
Twelve questions, 100 points, four areas. Each area's weight reflects how strongly it was linked to AI visibility in the research below, and what the platforms themselves require.
| Area | Why it weighs what it does | Points |
|---|
Fine print: the Ahrefs figures are correlations, not proof of cause. This is a self-check based on what you know about your business, not a technical audit. To know for sure whether AI names you, you have to ask it, many times and in several tools.
Sources
Where you won and where you lost points
The four areas don't weigh the same. Your footprint outside your website carries the most, because that's where AI looks for confirmation.
Your action plan
Only what you're missing, ordered by how many points it's costing you, with the source behind each step.
