Reading your Site Scan report
=============================

After a scan or a claim, the Site Scan report shows your SuperSchema Score, a letter grade, a five-category breakdown, a plain-language message, and a prioritized Action Plan. This walks through each part and what to do with it.

The Site Scan report summarizes how well AI systems can find, read, and trust your pages. You reach it right after a scan finishes, after you claim a scan, or later from a domain’s "Site Scan Report" tab. It reads top to bottom as a story: here is your score, here is the message it tells, here is why (the categories), and here is exactly what to do next.

THE OVERALL SCORE AND GRADE

At the top, under the "Site Snapshot" label, is the big number: your SuperSchema Score out of 100. Next to it sits a letter-grade badge (from A+ down to F) with a label, and a line reading "Better than X% of sites" to put your score in context. Three quick stats sit alongside it: "Evidence" (how many pages were scanned), "Strongest" (your best category), and "Focus" (the category to work on first).

96 to 100 · Super: AI systems have a strong read on your site.

80 to 95 · Good: A strong foundation with a few clear gaps to close.

60 to 79 · Fair: AI can understand parts of your site, but the signal is uneven.

40 to 59 · Needs Work: AI systems are likely missing important context.

0 to 39 · Critical: Major gaps are keeping AI from understanding your site.

Note: If your scan only sampled some of your pages, the report labels the number an "Estimated Score" and notes how many pages it is based on. A full-site scan replaces the estimate with your real score.

THE MESSAGE UNDER YOUR SCORE

Right above the snapshot, one plain-language sentence summarizes where you stand. It is driven by your score:

90 and up: "AI systems have a strong read on this site."

75 to 89: "The foundation is strong, with a few clear gaps to close."

60 to 74: "AI can understand parts of the site, but the signal is uneven."

Below 60: "AI systems are likely missing important context."

THE CATEGORY BREAKDOWN

Below the score, the "Category Breakdown" (labeled "Diagnostic Signals") shows five cards, one per category, each with its own 0 to 100 score, band color, and weight. Hover a card to see exactly what SuperSchema checked. The five categories and their weights are:

Access | 15% | robots.txt allows AI bots, no noindex blocking, pages load without JavaScript.
Content | 25% | Word count over 300, good text-to-HTML ratio, meaningful paragraphs.
Structure | 15% | Proper H1 heading, logical heading order, lists and tables for data.
Schema | 25% | Valid JSON-LD present, relevant schema types, complete required fields.
Alternate | 20% | Markdown version available, plain text alternative, files are accessible.

Note: Under the cards, a "Weighted score model" bar shows how each category contributes to your total, and a "Recommended next move" callout names your lowest category and its weight so you know where the most leverage is.

THE ACTION PLAN (PRIORITY FIXES)

Further down, the "Action Plan" section is titled "Start with the moves that raise the score fastest." These are the highest-leverage fixes pulled from the scan, ranked so you handle the biggest wins first. A "Projected lift" panel shows your score "Now" and its "Potential" after the listed fixes, with an estimated point gain. Each fix is a card you can act on.

Tip: Do not chase a perfect score everywhere at once. Start with the "Focus" category and the top card in the Action Plan on your most important pages. That is where you will see the biggest gain per unit of effort.

WHERE TO GO NEXT

- Generate schema for the pages the report flags, to raise the Schema category.
- Publish AI-readable Markdown and plain-text files, to raise the Alternate category.
- Fix any Access issues first if that category is low, since it gates everything else.
- Re-scan after your changes to confirm the score moved.

Note: The SuperSchema Score in this report grades your whole site. It is separate from a single schema’s quality score and from your Citation Score. See "Understanding your scores" for how they differ.
