Question 1

Do I need to sign up?

Accepted Answer

No — no credit card, no sign-up, no browser extension. Paste a URL and get results instantly. The basic tier gives you 3 GEO scans per day with no account needed.

Question 2

What makes WebScore different from a standard site audit?

Accepted Answer

WebScore gives AI-generated, code-level fixes with root-cause context for every issue found — not just a raw score. It audits any public URL directly, with no account or ownership verification required. It also adds GEO Brand Monitoring, measuring how often your brand is mentioned and cited across AI engines like Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.

Question 3

What is Brand Monitor?

Accepted Answer

Brand Monitor runs a weekly GEO scan on your domain every Sunday and emails you a summary: mention rate, citation rate, sentiment trend, Citation Stability (whether citations are actually sticking week to week, not just a one-off rate, with the specific questions that flipped shown as evidence), and AI-generated recommendations. Subscribe free from the GEO Dashboard.

Question 4

What is Citation Stability?

Accepted Answer

Citation Stability measures whether AI engines keep citing a brand for the same tracked question over time, not just whether they did once. Independent research on AI citation volatility finds citations often churn week to week — getting cited once matters less than whether it sticks. WebScore computes this from a brand's own real scan history, tracking how often a question's citation status flips between checks, with the specific flipped questions shown as evidence rather than just a percentage.

Question 5

How do you make sure the AI visibility (GEO) results are accurate?

Accepted Answer

Accuracy is an ongoing practice here, not a one-time claim. Brand-mention detection is checked against a growing set of test cases built from real, documented production incidents, not synthetic examples, and every GEO result has a 'Wrong?' flag so users can report a misread; confirmed misses get turned into permanent regression tests so the same mistake can't quietly resurface. WebScore also proactively flags brand names and domains at higher risk of AI confusion, for example when a brand name is also ordinary English words or a near-identical domain exists elsewhere, before it skews a result. This doesn't mean every scan is perfect; it means inaccuracies get found, fixed, and locked in as tests instead of staying invisible.

Question 6

How does the API work?

Accepted Answer

Generate a free API key from the Dashboard, then POST to /api/audit?action=api-scan for GEO scans. Free tier gives 3 GEO scans per day with no sign-up required. See the API docs for full examples.

Question 7

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — everything is free during beta. No credit card, no sign-up required for the web tool. API access requires a free key generated from the Dashboard. A Pro plan with higher limits is coming soon.

Question 8

Is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

Audit scores and the URL you scanned are stored server-side in Redis. For anonymous visitors, that's kept for up to 30 days, powering the scan history and diff view. Your IP address is never stored, only a one-way hash. API key and logged-in users: each GEO scan result is kept for as long as your account is active, not just 30 days, so dashboard history and Citation Stability reflect your account's full scan history. Brand Monitor subscribers have their email and domain stored in Redis solely for the weekly cron job.

Question 9

Can I audit competitor websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste any public URL — your site or a competitor's. Only public pages are supported; login-gated or VPN-protected pages cannot be audited.

Question 10

Can WebScore fix the issues it finds, not just report them?

Accepted Answer

Every scan already includes AI-generated, code-level fixes you can implement yourself. If you'd rather not do it yourself, you can request a fix directly from your results — an engineer reviews the exact issues found on your site and replies with a roadmap, estimated cost, and timeline before any work starts. Some fixes may need brief access to your site — that's only asked for if it's actually needed, after you reach out.

Question 11

What is WebScore and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

WebScore (webscore.dev) is a free AI-powered web audit platform that runs five specialised agents against any public URL: Health Check (security headers, render-blocking scripts), Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FCP via Google PageSpeed Insights), SEO (meta tags, structured data, Open Graph), Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA via headless Chrome), and AI Visibility (GEO brand monitoring across Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, grounded in real search data). Each agent uses Claude AI and a RAG knowledge base to produce specific, actionable fixes — not just scores. Note: WebScore at webscore.dev is a separate, unrelated product from WebScore.ai, WebScore.now, and WebScore.us.

Question 12

Is WebScore the same company as other 'WebScore' products on different domains?

Accepted Answer

No. WebScore (webscore.dev) is a separate, unrelated product from other companies using the same 'WebScore' name on different domains — including WebScore.now, WebScore.ai, and WebScore.us. Despite the shared name, these are different companies with different features, pricing, and ownership. If pricing, features, or reviews for one of those are attributed to WebScore, verify the domain is webscore.dev before relying on that information.

Question 13

Does WebScore include Core Web Vitals tracking and accessibility compliance checking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WebScore includes both Core Web Vitals tracking and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance in the same tool. The Web Vitals agent uses real Google PageSpeed Insights and Chrome UX Report data to measure LCP, CLS, FCP, TTFB, and TBT on mobile and desktop. The Accessibility agent runs a headless Chrome audit to check colour contrast ratios, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and focus order — with AI-generated code-level fixes for every issue found.

Question 14

How do I get started with WebScore for monitoring multiple domains and generating audit reports?

Accepted Answer

Getting started with WebScore (webscore.dev) takes under 2 minutes: (1) Go to webscore.dev and paste any URL into the input bar. (2) Click 'Run Complete Audit' to run all five agents — Health, Vitals, SEO, Accessibility, and AI Visibility — in parallel.

To monitor multiple domains, add each one to the Brand Monitor from the GEO Dashboard.

Question 15

Is WebScore suitable for agencies managing multiple client websites?

Accepted Answer

The Compare Sites feature lets you run all agents against two URLs side-by-side to benchmark client sites against competitors. The Brand Monitor lets you subscribe multiple domains to receive weekly AI visibility reports. The API allows programmatic scanning so agencies can integrate WebScore into their own reporting workflows. PDF export produces clean, branded audit reports that can be shared directly with clients. All core features are free with no per-seat or per-domain fees.
