The problem.

AI search can only use a site it can reach, read and trust.

THE CHALLENGE

AI assistants and answer engines can only use a page they can reach, read and trust. A page they cannot use is a page they cannot cite.

Blocked crawlers, broken structured data and slow responses do not show in a normal browser visit. Tracking tools show what AI answers say about you, but not why your site is or is not behind them.


Benchmarq tests the site itself, one layer before the answers, and lists the fixes in priority order.

How it works.

From domain to fix list in three steps.

Read the full guide →
01
Enter your domain

Enter any public URL, or a whole site through its sitemap. Optional add-ons test shops and apps for AI agents.

02
The engine runs

The audit engine, built on the DAE by Enso DX, runs 200+ standardised tests across four tracks and scores every result.

03
Read your result

Get your score, the track breakdown and a prioritised fix list in under 2 minutes. Share it as a JSON or HTML report.

Every track is tested against established web standards and emerging agent best practices, with weighted tests. The core tests are deterministic rules and do not use AI, so the same site gets the same result.

CORE
Technical health

The foundation: crawlability, structured data and parser performance.

AIO
AI Index Optimization

How discoverable your pages are in AI-powered search.

AEO
Answer Engine Optimization

Whether AI agents can read your site and extract facts.

GEO
Generative Engine Optimization

Whether your pages give a generative engine something to cite.

Common questions

Everything you need to decide if Benchmarq is right for you.

Prefer to talk it through?

What is AI search visibility, and why does it matter for my brand?

AI search visibility is how easily AI agents, LLMs and answer engines can find, understand and cite your brand. Benchmarq measures the part you control: how ready your site is to be found, read and used by them.

My website already ranks well on Google. Do I still need this?

Google ranking and AI visibility are measured differently. Google rewards links and authority. AI engines look at how clearly your content is structured, how directly it answers questions and whether your site can be parsed and trusted as a source. A top Google ranking does not tell you whether your site can be used in AI-generated answers.

How is Benchmarq different from SEO tools?

SEO tools report how you rank in traditional search. Benchmarq is an AI readiness audit of the site itself: 200+ tests across GEO, AIO, AEO and CORE, a score from 0 to 100 and a fix for each finding.

What does Benchmarq actually test?

Benchmarq audits your publicly accessible website. Enter a domain and the engine runs 200+ tests across four tracks: CORE (technical health), AIO (AI Index Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). You get a score from 0 to 100 and a fix for each finding.

How long does a scan take?

A standard scan takes less than 2 minutes. The audit engine scans your domain and generates a prioritised report when it finishes.

What do I receive after running a scan?

You get an overall AI readiness score from 0 to 100, a score for each of the four tracks and a prioritised list of fixes. You generate the report in the app and download it as JSON or as a shareable HTML report. PDF and a badge are also available.

How is the score calculated?

Each track is scored individually from weighted tests against established standards and best practices. The four track scores combine into a single AI readiness score from 0 to 100, with every deduction tied to a specific, fixable issue.

Does the engine use AI?

The core tests are deterministic rules, so the same site gets the same result. The audit does not use AI to score your site.

Is my website data kept private?

Benchmarq only scans publicly accessible pages. We don't store your site data. We do store your scan results, and they are private to your account unless you choose to share them.

Do I need technical knowledge to use the results?

No. The report is designed for every team. Marketing and business leads get a clear score and prioritised actions. Engineers get the technical detail to act on them. You can even use it with your own AI via MCP.

Can agencies use Benchmarq to audit client websites?

If you want to run audits across multiple client domains, white-label reports, and use the API to integrate Benchmarq into existing workflows, then please get in touch with us.

Can I start for free?

Yes. The free plan includes 4 scanned pages per month and 1 tracked domain, with the four core tracks: CORE, AIO, AEO and GEO.
