The top 50 of the 620 homepages that returned a normal page and were scored with the same 40 checks the free scan uses. Same sample as the full benchmark, opposite tail.
A ranking of homepages on readiness checks, not a ranking of products. The method and the limits are the same as the benchmark's.
93
highest score in the sample
84
median of this top 50 (benchmark median 53)
50

What does it take to top this list?
Access first: robots.txt admits the crawlers, the page is server-rendered, and the entity and sameAs declarations exist. The content dimensions - citability, depth, answer readiness - are what separate the very top from a competent B.
The weighted dimensions and every pass condition are published on the methodology page. The pattern in the table is checkable: 50 of these 50 graded A or B, while only 2 of the 620 scored sample reached an A.
Which AI-tool homepages score best?
The 50 highest scores, highest first. Every domain links to a fresh scan of the same page, and the full 620-row ranking is on the benchmark page.
The sample is the benchmark's: 1,000 homepages drawn from a public AI-tools directory with a fixed seed, one scan per domain on 2026-11-04, scored with the same 40 checks the free scan uses. This page takes the top 50 of the 620 that returned a normal page.
“Best” is scoped to this measurement: homepage readiness, one snapshot, one network location. It is not a review and not a popularity ranking. A domain that has changed since the scan is a stale row rather than a false one - send it through the contact page and it is re-checked in the next run. The raw data is the benchmark CSV.
