Score your site against the five freshness signals AI search agents check when deciding what to monitor. Built for the Information-Agent era of Google Search.
Verify your email, drop in any domain, and get a 100-point breakdown across sitemap, feed, blog cadence, Article schema, and visible date stamps with prioritized fixes.
Does /sitemap.xml exist? What percentage of URLs have <lastmod> tags? How recent are those dates? Agents use the sitemap as their primary change-detection manifest.
Is there a reachable RSS or Atom feed? Is it linked from the homepage via <link rel="alternate">? Subscription-based agents prefer feeds over repeated sitemap diffs.
How many posts in the last 30, 60, 90 days? 3-5 fresh posts per month is the minimum for category visibility. Cadence beats volume because each post is a verifiable change event.
Across sampled URLs: do they have Article or BlogPosting JSON-LD with dateModified? Is dateModified recent? This is the per-page freshness anchor agents extract.
Does the rendered HTML have visible <time> elements or "Last updated" copy? AI Overview citations pull "as of [date]" framing from visible page text, not from JSON-LD.
Your freshness score measures whether AI agents that monitor your category have something to detect when they come back. The five categories map to the actual signals agents extract.
