Benchmarq UI.Your workspace for AI search readiness.
Audit your domains, track score history over time, and assign prioritized fixes to your engineering team. In under two minutes, Benchmarq runs 200+ rule-based checks across your site to surface the exact technical blockers holding back your AI search visibility—with zero installation or setup required.
Synopsis
- What it is
- A diagnostic web workspace that audits and monitors how AI search engines, answer engines, and autonomous agents discover and read your website.
- Input
- Any public URL or full-domain sitemap. Sign in with Google, HubSpot, LinkedIn, or email. Zero code installation or server configuration required.
- Output
- A composite 0–100 AI readiness score, 4 track scores, test-by-test diagnostic breakdowns, prioritized remediation lists, and exports in structured JSON, shareable HTML, or PDF.
- Tracks
- GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AIO (AI Index Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and CORE (Technical health). Explore all checks or read about the audit engine.
- Speed
- Standard scans finish in under 2 minutes across 200+ tests.
- Scope
- Benchmarq evaluates your site's technical readiness and structure, not fluctuating third-party chat answers. Core tests are 100% deterministic and do not rely on LLM guessing.
- Add-ons
- Agentic App audits authentication and multi-step tool execution for autonomous agents. Agentic Commerce evaluates product schema, cart discovery, and AP2 protocols. Both are reported independently of the core score.
- Plans
- Scans deduct from your monthly page allowance. The Free plan includes 4 pages a month; paid plans expand limits and unlock action item workflows, historical trends, and competitor benchmarking. View pricing.
- Privacy
- Audits scan publicly accessible web pages only. We never store proprietary site source data, and your reports remain strictly private to your account.
- Agencies
- For multi-client management, custom white-label reports, and direct API access, get in touch.
A static report captures a single moment in time. The Benchmarq workspace connects the dots across deployments, tracks score shifts over time, and benchmarks your readiness directly against competitors.
Historical trend analysis
Chart composite and per-track scores over time. Verify that code fixes delivered expected improvements and catch regressions immediately after releases.
Explore domain tracking →Side-by-side competitor benchmarking
Benchmark up to four competitor domains using identical diagnostic criteria to see exactly where your site leads and where it lags.
Explore competitor benchmarking →Targeted gap analysis
Uncover track-level differences and generate a prioritized remediation plan that closes the competitive gap where it matters most.
From initial domain scan to prioritized remediation and competitor analysis, explore how each screen helps your team isolate issues and ship fixes. Learn more about the underlying scoring criteria on the audit engine page.

Questions.
Direct answers about using the Benchmarq workspace.
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.
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.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Benchmarq tests your publicly accessible website. Enter a domain and the engine does the rest.
Does a high score guarantee AI search engines will cite my site?
No. The score measures your technical readiness to be discovered, parsed, and cited by AI models and answer engines. Whether an engine cites a specific query depends on user intent, relevance, and competition. Fixing failed checks eliminates the technical blockers that cause AI crawlers to skip your content.
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.
How does a scan count against my monthly allowance?
Each page scanned counts once against your plan: 4 pages a month on Free, 100 on Standard, and 1,000 on Premium. A single-page audit uses 1 page credit. An entire-site audit crawls your sitemap and deducts each scanned page. Compare plans.
Can I use Benchmarq from my AI assistant?
Yes. The Benchmarq MCP server lets an AI assistant read scores, issues and score history, compare competitors and start page scans. Competitor tools need the Premium plan. See Benchmarq MCP.
