AI Search Readiness Checker (Apify Actor)

Audit the public technical signals that make a website easier for search and AI systems to retrieve and interpret. For each URL, the Actor returns:

• a disclosed 0-100 technical-coverage score and letter grade;
• metadata, robots, sitemap, and optional llms.txt checks;
• valid JSON-LD types and site-type-specific schema gaps;
• source URLs, concrete fixes, and explicit limits.

The score is not a search ranking, citation probability, or commercial-outcome prediction. The Actor does not query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews.

Input

{ "domains": ["samedaydesk.com"] }

or Apify-standard startUrls.

Output (dataset, one row per domain)

{
  "requestedUrl": "https://samedaydesk.com/",
  "finalUrl": "https://samedaydesk.com/",
  "technicalReadinessScore": 84,
  "grade": "B",
  "signals": {
    "schemaTypesPresent": ["Organization", "WebSite"]
  },
  "recommendations": ["Review the missing schema types supported by the page."],
  "auditedAt": "2026-08-08T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Monetization

Pay-per-event: charged once per successfully audited domain (result, default $0.02; set the real price in the Apify console).

Version 0.3 audits only public HTTP and HTTPS targets, blocks private and reserved networks, follows at most five validated redirects, limits response size, and caps each run at 20 unique domains. The output reports retrieval, metadata, recursive JSON-LD types, robots, sitemap, llms.txt, a disclosed technical rubric, evidence URLs, fixes, and explicit limits. The score is a technical coverage measure, not a search rank or citation probability.

Publish (operator, one-time)

This is a "maintain / parallel lottery ticket" from the pilot reset (see ../../overview/IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md §4). To publish + get paid:

1. Complete the legal beneficiary, verification, and payout setup in Apify.
2. apify push this folder, configure one result pay-per-event charge, and publish the Actor.
3. 21-day kill: if $0 in paid runs after 3 weeks, stop investing (the only newcomer datapoint on Apify is $0/2wk — cap the effort).

Local test

npm install && apify run   # or: node main.js  (with an INPUT.json)
