Full details, pricing and termsHow the Guidestone authority score works
AI companies don't publish an official score, so we built a transparent one. It's 100 points, and we re-check it monthly for paid clients.
Found 40 pts
Five checks worth 8 points each: AI can read the site without JavaScript; what you do, where and for whom is stated plainly; facts match across pages; structured data matches the visible site; and AI has a contact or booking route it can use.
Cited 30 pts
Three checks worth 10 points each: core directory listings (Google, Bing and your industry) are complete and consistent; reviews; and mentions from local press, partners and industry sites, compared with two local competitors.
Recommended 30 pts
We ask ChatGPT, Google AI and Perplexity 10 questions your customers would ask, such as “best family law attorney in Stamford.” You earn one point for each of the 30 answers that names you.
