Is Solarly a solar energy company?

No. Despite the name, Solarly has nothing to do with solar panels, photovoltaics, roof analysis, or renewable energy hardware. Solarly is a software platform that audits websites for AI-readiness — how visible they are to LLM crawlers like GPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.

What does Solarly actually do?

Solarly audits any URL in about 60 seconds and returns an AI-readiness score, a list of technical findings (missing schema, llms.txt, AI bot directives), and ready-to-ship llms.txt and ai-agents.json files. It also publishes a public leaderboard and case studies for top brands.

What is AI readiness?

AI readiness is how legible your website is to LLM crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot — covering schema.org markup, llms.txt directives, and crawl policy.

What does Solarly do?

Solarly audits any website for AI readiness and generates llms.txt and ai-agents.json manifests so agents can discover and cite your content.

Public methodology · updated continuously

How Solarly measures AI visibility.

Most GEO tools ask you to trust a number. We publish where the number comes from — the queries we poll, how often, and where the signal gets noisy. Read it, argue with it, and hold us to it.

How the engine runs

1. Seed queries — the 70-item matrix below is polled against each LLM search surface every 24 hours.
2. Citation capture — we log which domains each answer cites, plus the position and paraphrase.
3. Signal + confidence band — every reading carries a "Last measured" timestamp and a confidence range that widens as sample noise grows.
4. Publication — results feed the leaderboard, /asked pages, and the public MCP server so agents can query them directly.

What we won't claim

LLMs update their weights on their own schedule. Any tool telling you it "defends your citations 24/7" the way Google rank trackers monitor keywords is overstating what's measurable today. Solarly reports movement, not certainty: expect meaningful shifts on model updates, and treat single readings as trend inputs, not gospel. If you catch us drifting into vibe-metrics, call it out — that's the deal.
