About Show Up, and where our facts come from

Show Up checks whether AI systems can access and parse your website. It reads your public pages the way a search crawler does, respects your robots.txt, and scores five things: access for AI crawlers, readable HTML, structured data, answerability, and freshness.

What it is not

It does not promise that any AI will cite, recommend or rank you. Those depend on far more than machine-readability. We measure the inputs you control, honestly.

Tokens verified 2026-07-24 against each operator's own documentation. Most AI crawlers read static HTML and do not run JavaScript (per independent testing; Googlebot is an exception, but Google-Extended rides on it and is a training-consent control, not an answer crawler), which is why a JavaScript-only page can be invisible to them.
