Frequently Asked Questions
Ten questions that come up most often, answered plainly.
It measures how a website presents itself to AI systems, answer engines and search crawlers. The engine fetches the page, robots.txt, sitemap.xml and declared machine-readable signal files, then evaluates 167 signals across six dimensions: AI Signals, AEO, GEO, AIO, SEO and A2A.
No. Every one of the 167 verdicts comes from deterministic rules applied to evidence observed on the site, and the narrative summary is assembled from those same results by fixed templates. No language model is involved at any point, and no audit data is sent to an LLM provider. The rules are deterministic; the inputs are not always identical, because an external measurement can be rate-limited, an endpoint can be slow, or a resource can change between runs. Same site, same observed evidence, same score — and every report states how much could be observed.
Because a signal that cannot be verified from public sources has not failed — it simply could not be tested. Marking it as failed would invent a verdict. Signals requiring paid external data sources or owner-level access are reported as not applicable, and the report states how many were tested.
SEO is the technical and content foundation used by search engines. AEO structures content so assistants extract direct answers. GEO makes the brand entity discoverable and citable by generative systems. AIO covers how AI systems understand, rank and reproduce content across the full stack.
No. The audit inspects only publicly served resources. Nothing is installed, no tracking code is added, no authentication is attempted, and no private or password-protected area is accessed.
The first three reports per domain each calendar month are free. After that each report is EUR 19, excluding VAT. Monitoring one domain costs EUR 29 per month for a monthly interval, EUR 49 for weekly and EUR 99 for daily. Machine access for agents is EUR 0.50 per call on prepaid credit, EUR 0.40 in a 1,000-call pack and EUR 0.30 in a 5,000-call pack, with an enterprise tier on request. It returns raw JSON only, without the PDF, the shareable report URL, the signed report or the retained history that come with the EUR 19 report. Machine access is not open yet: it requires API keys and prepaid credit, both in preparation. Full pricing is published at 3webobs.com/pricing.
Yes. The engine exposes a POST endpoint at /audit that accepts a URL and returns a structured JSON report, plus a GET endpoint at /stats for service metadata. Negotiated machine-to-machine access, including rate limits, is agreed in writing.
No. Third-party AI systems change their behaviour without notice and no provider guarantees citation. The audit identifies observable technical signals that are within your control; it does not promise a ranking, a citation or a commercial outcome.
No. The report is a technical observation, not a certification and not a legal opinion. It identifies signals that justify further evaluation. For a formal classification under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, obtain independent legal analysis.
