The AI Clarity Standard™
for Business Visibility
The open framework that defines how well AI systems like ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity can find, read, trust, know, and cite your business. Free to use. Built for small business. Built in Australia.
5 pillars. 100 points.
One clear standard.
AI systems don't just Google your business. They need to find you, parse your content, verify your credibility, recognise your brand, and find something worth quoting. Each pillar measures one of these five abilities — and each one is fixable.
Before AI can understand you, it has to find you. This pillar checks whether your site is technically accessible to AI crawlers and clearly signals what your business does through structured data.
- Schema.org structured data (JSON-LD)
- Business type clearly declared
- Site crawlable by AI bots
- llms.txt file present
- Canonical tags and indexing signals
AI language models extract meaning from structure. This pillar checks whether your content is written and organised in a way that AI can actually comprehend — not just index.
- Logical H1 → H2 → H3 hierarchy
- Entity clarity (named business, location, service)
- Active voice and clear sentences
- Meta description quality
- Internal linking structure
AI systems are trained to cite authoritative sources. This pillar checks the external signals that build AI trust — reviews, third-party mentions, consistent business information, and authority signals.
- Google Business Profile completeness
- Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) across web
- Review volume and recency
- Third-party citations and mentions
- HTTPS and technical trust signals
AI systems have knowledge about businesses in their training data. This pillar checks how well your brand is established as a named, known entity — not just a website, but a recognised business.
- Brand name consistency across all platforms
- Wikipedia / Wikidata presence
- Social profile completeness
- Knowledge panel presence
- Industry directory listings
The ultimate goal: AI systems mention you by name when answering relevant questions. This pillar checks whether your content contains quotable facts, clear answers, and the structure that makes AI want to cite you.
- FAQ schema and direct-answer content
- Specific facts, statistics, and data
- Comparison and “best of” content
- Quotable expert statements
- Content freshness and update signals
0–100. No jargon.
Just a clear number.
Each pillar scores 0–20 points based on specific, measurable checks. Your total AI Clarity Score tells you — and AI systems — how ready your business is.
AI systems struggle to find, understand, or trust your business. You are largely invisible in AI-generated answers.
AI can partially understand your business. You appear inconsistently in AI answers. Specific gaps are limiting your visibility.
AI systems can clearly find, read, trust, know, and cite your business. You are well-positioned for AI-driven discovery.
