How this score is measured
The overall score weights Live Answer Visibility at 45%, Search Index Foundation at 30% and Training Data Presence at 25%, rounded to the nearest point. Critical findings can cap the score lower; any applied cap is stated next to it. Live Answer Visibility and Training Data Presence reflect crawler access plus on-page structure, with Training Data Presence also counting Common Crawl. Search Index Foundation reflects Googlebot and bingbot access plus indexability, sitemap and response health.
Our crawler tests send each bot's user agent from our own servers, not from the AI companies' verified IP ranges. Some firewalls, including Cloudflare, verify crawlers by network identity rather than user agent. That means a site can challenge our test request while allowing the real, verified crawler. When that happens this scan over-reports blocking; it never under-reports it. The Googlebot result is the most exposed to this, because fake Googlebots are the most common spoof and are policed hardest.
This scan of accounts.google.com checked 15 AI crawlers across 21 automated checks on 1 page. None of the 13 scored crawlers are blocked. AI Access Score: 87/100 (AI-ready).

Warnings (4)
Without a sitemap, crawlers discover pages by guesswork, and your money pages get crawled last or never.

These are the raw material that citation snippets are built from. Character counts are for the decoded text, so an entity like & counts as one character, not five.

1. Fix your sitemap
Fixes: No sitemap found
- Ensure /sitemap.xml returns 200 and lists your live URLs; remove entries that 404.
- Reference it from robots.txt with a Sitemap: line so crawlers find it without guessing.
Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml
curl -sI "https://accounts.google.com/sitemap.xml" | head -12. Add extractable main content
Fixes: Only 142 words of extractable content on the homepage
- The page carries under 150 words of extractable main content; AI systems have almost nothing to quote or cite.
- Write the page copy into the HTML itself rather than images or embedded widgets.
3. Fix title and meta description
Fixes: Title or description needs work: title on /v3/signin/identifier is 5 chars (aim for 15 to 70)
- Write a title of 15 to 70 characters containing your brand or the page topic, and a meta description of 50 to 160 characters.
curl -s "https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/&emr=1&followup=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/&osid=1&passive=1209600&service=mail&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin&dsh=S1278033054:1789508784198301" | grep -ioE '<title[^>]*>[^<]*</title>|<meta[^>]*name=.?description[^>]*>'4. Add Organization schema with sameAs links
Fixes: No Organization schema on the homepage
- Add the JSON-LD below to your homepage head, filling in your real details.
- The sameAs links are the entity-corroboration signal that connects your site to your LinkedIn and other profiles.
- Validate at validator.schema.org.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "Accounts",
"url": "https://accounts.google.com",
"logo": "https://accounts.google.com/logo.png",
"description": "What Accounts does, in one sentence.",
"sameAs": [
"https://www.linkedin.com/company/accounts",
"https://x.com/accounts"
]
}
</script>5. Fix the canonical tag
Fixes: No canonical tag on homepage
- The canonical must be an absolute https URL on this same host. A canonical pointing at a staging domain or another host donates the page's identity elsewhere.
- Fix the template that renders the link rel=canonical tag, deploy, and verify with the command in this report.
curl -s "https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/&emr=1&followup=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/&osid=1&passive=1209600&service=mail&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin&dsh=S1278033054:1789508784198301" | grep -ioE '<link[^>]*rel=.?canonical[^>]*>'6. Complete Open Graph tags
Fixes: Open Graph incomplete: missing og:title, og:description, og:image
- Add og:title, og:description and og:image meta tags to the page head.
curl -s "https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/&emr=1&followup=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/&osid=1&passive=1209600&service=mail&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin&dsh=S1278033054:1789508784198301" | grep -ioE '<meta[^>]*property=.?og:[^>]*>'7. Add an llms.txt file
Fixes: No llms.txt found
- Save the generated draft below as /llms.txt at your site root.
- It is a plain-markdown guide that tells AI systems what your most important pages are; adoption is emerging, and it costs nothing.
