Free AI page checker for local businesses

What is an AI page checker?

An AI page checker reviews the text of a page for the writing habits that make it easy for search engines and AI answer tools to understand and quote. This one checks eight signals and returns a score from 0 to 8. It tests writing clarity only, because Google states that its AI features rely on standard SEO fundamentals and need no special optimization. For your profile, listings and AI answers, see the full AI SEO audit.

How is the score calculated?

Each of the eight checks is pass or fail, and the score is the number of passes. The rules below are exactly what the code runs, so you can see why a check passed or failed.

#	Check	Passes when
1	Service and city early	Both the service and the city you typed appear in the first 100 words
2	Short opening answer	The first sentence of the first paragraph is 30 words or fewer
3	Question headings	There are at least 2 headings and at least 40% of them end with a question mark
4	Short sentences	The average sentence is 20 words or fewer
5	Phone number	A US-style phone number appears in the text
6	Specific facts	At least 3 numbers appear, not counting the phone number
7	FAQ	There are at least 3 question headings, or the words "FAQ" or "frequently asked" appear
8	Trust signals	At least 2 of these words appear: licensed, insured, bonded, warranty, guarantee, certified, years, reviews, rated

A score of 7 or 8 shows as Strong, 4 to 6 as Needs work, and 3 or below as Weak. These thresholds are our own editorial rules of thumb, not figures from Google.

How does the checker find headings in pasted text?

Pasted text has no formatting, so the checker treats a line as a heading when it is 12 words or fewer, does not end in a period or exclamation mark, and is not the last line. Put each heading on its own line before you paste. If a heading is missed, add a question mark or shorten it.

What does a good opening look like?

A good opening states who you are, what you do and where in one short sentence. The example below shows a typical weak opener and a stronger one.

	Opening sentence	Words
Weak	Welcome to our website, where we pride ourselves on delivering the highest standard of quality service for all of your heating and cooling needs throughout the greater area and surrounding communities, every day of the year.	36
Stronger	Smith Heating and Air provides licensed AC repair in Austin, Texas, with same-day appointments.	14

The stronger version names the service, the city and a fact. It would pass checks 1 and 2, while the weak one fails both. The company in the example is fictional, and "same-day appointments" is only an example, so use claims that are true for you.

Why do question headings help?

Question headings match the way people search and speak, and an answer directly below each one is easy to extract. Google does not say that question headings are a ranking factor. We recommend them because they make a page clearer for readers, and clear pages are easier for any system to parse. This is our judgment, not a confirmed ranking signal.

What does Google say about optimizing for AI features?

Google's documentation says that no special markup or extra files are needed to appear in AI features such as AI Overviews, and that the same SEO fundamentals apply. It points site owners to helpful, people-first content, good page experience and content that is crawlable and indexable. A checker like this one helps with the content part only.

What can this checker not tell me?

• Rankings: it cannot see where you rank or who your competitors are.
• Technical health: it does not test crawling, indexing, speed, schema or links.
• Truth and quality: it counts words, not accuracy. It cannot tell if a claim is true.
• AI mentions: a high score does not guarantee that any AI tool will quote you.

How should I use my score?

Fix the items marked "Fix", run the check again, and aim for 7 or more on your main service page. Start with your top service page and top city pages. Never add numbers or trust words that are not true just to pass a check, because accuracy matters more than the score.

Is my page text stored?

No. The check runs in your browser, and the text you paste is not sent to our server or saved.

How is this different from a full AI visibility audit?

A checker reviews one page of text. Our audit reviews your Business Profile, map rankings, reviews, citations, site and AI answer visibility together, and our AI-based SEO process tracks them every month. See how local SEO for contractors fits together, or book your audit.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI page checker free?

Yes. It is free, needs no account and runs in your browser.

Is a score of 8 out of 8 enough to rank?

No. The score only measures writing clarity. Rankings also depend on links, relevance, competition and your Business Profile.

Does it work for pages outside the US?

The phone check looks for US-style numbers, so it may fail on other formats. The other seven checks work in English for any location.

Can I use it for blog posts?

It is built for local service pages. On a blog post, skip the phone and service-and-city checks.
