AI Readiness Benchmark
How websites scanned with AIready score when AI tries to access and understand them. Snapshot taken 17 October 2026.

33 websites that AI struggles to read or understand.
28%
44 websites that AI can read clearly.
Key finding
Most websites sit in the middle.
81 websites are partly readable by AI but leave gaps in access, structure or clarity.
Some well-known sites score low because security checks, scripts or redirects stop AI tools reading their pages.
Clear service descriptions, structured data and open access for AI crawlers are common, fixable gaps.
Method
How these numbers are calculated.
Figures use the latest score for each unique website scanned with AIready between 4 September 2026 and 17 October 2026 (363 scans in total). Repeat scans are not double-counted.
Websites were submitted by visitors and were not restricted to verified New Zealand businesses, so the sample is not a representative survey of New Zealand businesses. The snapshot does not separate temporary scan failures from persistent access restrictions, staff submissions or scanner-version changes; investigate low scores before treating them as definitive. An AI-readiness score measures how easily AI can access and understand a site; it does not prove whether AI tools cite or recommend it.
