About friendly4AI is a GEO Scanner — a SaaS platform that measures how AI-ready and AI-visible a website is. It analyzes any URL against 40+ GEO/AEO parameters covering crawlability, structured data, content accessibility, AI discoverability (llms txt, AI manifests), technical signals, and API integration, then produces two scores from a single scan: an AI-Readiness Score (whether AI systems can crawl, parse, and understand the site — available in a free scan, no account required) and an AI Visibility Score (whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity actually know and recommend the site, via live LLM queries). Every finding is backed by verifiable evidence with recommendations prioritized by impact (Critical/High/Medium/Low). Additional features include a public leaderboard (Top Friendly4AI) and a native MCP server for AI agents. Pricing: free scan, then Starter $9/mo, Pro $39/mo, Teams $199/mo, with a free trial.

Pros from Real Users Pros easy to use, intuitive, clean interface, good customer service. It's an awesome tool to shed light on how to optimize our results in AI tools. We've already made a lot of really helpful business decisions with the data they provide and eager to continue using it to drive more business. Was worried AI for SEO would be hard to figure out but this made the process easy. AthenaHQ is really intuitive and uses AI itself to get your prompts and tracking set up quickly. Really easy to get up to speed on how to get the right insights from your brands positioning in AI chatbots and LLMs.
