Free Site Check — can we connect?

What is the Site Check?

The Site Check is a free, no-login diagnostic from AEOForged that answers three practical questions: can AI engines (and our scanner) read your site, can we connect to apply and verify fixes, and which package fits those facts. It is the front door of our diagnose → fix → grow path — not a sales quiz and not a citation guarantee.

AEOForged is a measured AI-visibility platform. The Site Check routes you to the right starting package using the same deterministic rule table that powers our diagnostic funnel — measured evidence first, package second.

What does the Site Check look at?

Every run inspects the live URL and returns facts you can read — not a black-box score alone. The check focuses on the signals that decide whether hands-on site work is possible and which retainer rung makes sense.

• How the site is built — platform signals that decide whether WordPress, Shopify, or GitHub can receive applied fixes.
• Whether we can connect — a connectability result, not a guess, so Foundation or Site-module work is only offered when we can do the work ourselves.
• Page shape and crawl status — roughly how large the site is and whether our scanner (and usually AI engines) can read it.
• A deterministic package recommendation — Foundation Sprint, Monitor, Grow, Dominate, or a Rebuild waitlist — from measured facts, never from a salesperson.

How does the Site Check work?

The flow is short on purpose. Most checks finish in about a minute from the URL you paste above.

1. Paste your site URL into the form above. No account, no credit card, no sales call.
2. We fetch and inspect the live site: platform, connectability, page shape, and crawl status.
3. A rule table returns one primary recommendation plus alternates, with measured evidence lines you can read.
4. When a path fits, you get a private client room link — audit, packages, and progress without creating a login.

Can we connect to my site?

Connectability is a measured yes/no for applied work. When the check says we can connect — typically WordPress, Shopify, or a GitHub-backed site — we can run a Foundation Sprint or later attach the Site module and apply fixes ourselves, then machine-verify them. We never sell a fix list for you to execute alone.

When we cannot connect, Monitor, Grow, and Dominate still work without site access: they measure citations, publish strategy, and ship content and distribution kits. If the site is blocked or unreadable, Rebuild is the honest path — the same thing that blocked our scan is usually blocking AI.

Which package will it recommend?

The recommendation is a first-match rule table over reachability, connectability, crawl status, page shape, and any package interest you carried in. No model chooses the package and no model sees a price.

• Foundation Sprint is a one-time engagement from $1,500 (page-band priced up to $3,500) that builds your site's AI foundation when we can connect.
• Monitor is $295/mo for measured citation monitoring and a monthly Strategy Report — the lowest-commitment retainer.
• Grow is $1,495/mo and adds one research-grounded article plus its distribution kit each month.
• Dominate is $2,495/mo with two articles per month plus your sector intelligence edition.
• The Site module is +$995/mo on a retainer and unlocks once a published AI-foundation audit clears 70+.

How long does the Site Check take?

A typical Site Check finishes in about a minute. You stay on the page while the result streams in: brand profile signals first, then fit probes and the package recommendation. If the scanner cannot read the site, we say so plainly — that outcome is useful data, not a failed form.

Does the Site Check guarantee AI citations?

No. Nobody honestly can. The Site Check measures whether we can work on your site and which package fits those facts. Citation movement is measured later on real answer engines inside Monitor, Grow, or Dominate — reported as “cited N×” or honestly “not yet cited,” never as a promised ranking in ChatGPT or Perplexity.
