Each bar is how many of the 214 businesses landed in that band. The median is 50. One business in five is at 60 or better; one in nine is under 20.

80 to 100Findable, and quoted back by the assistants.
60 to 79Solid. A few fixes from being the answer.
40 to 59The middle. A website exists; the machines skim it.
20 to 39Nearly invisible. Usually no schema, thin pages, no listings.
Under 20Effectively absent from an AI answer.

By sector.

Sectors, not businesses. We do not publish an individual score without the owner asking for it. Yours is free, and it is yours either way.

What the score measures.

Ten categories, the same ones every time, scored from a live crawl of the business’s own website: whether AI crawlers are allowed in, whether there is an llms.txt, whether the structured data describes the business, whether the first hundred words say who and what and where, FAQ coverage, whether the facts agree with each other across the site, whether every page is readable without JavaScript, and how fresh and trustworthy the signals are.

Two further categories, off-site authority and what the assistants actually say when asked by name, are only scored when they have genuinely been measured. Where they have not, they are marked pending. Nothing is guessed and nothing is inferred.

Screened August 2026 from the OX9 business directory: every Thame business with a working website. Eighteen more were found with a dead site and reported back rather than scored.
