Does your audit measure the crawl, or the estate?

A crawl-clean audit passes pages no engine will ever quote. Eight items and four numbers return the state your audit is in, and the indexability arithmetic in the same pass.

The Retrieval Audit Check

Score the audit you last received, not the one you would commission today. “Not sure” scores as no.

Item 1

Does your last audit report an indexability ratio and a crawl health score you can point to?

Indexed pages ÷ crawlable pages. A number, in the document, not an adjective.

Item 2

Can you produce, today, a list of your pages that rank in the top 10 and have never been cited by an AI engine?

This is the only item on the list that produces a finding on its own.

Item 3

Have you tested GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot access separately from Googlebot, in robots.txt and at the CDN?

Both layers. They disagree more often than anyone expects.

Item 4

Have you verified AI Overview presence on your top 20 terms with a live SERP fetch — not a cached features field — in the last 30 days?

Run a positive control first, or an empty result is ambiguous.

Item 5

Do ten randomly chosen stat-bearing sentences on your key pages each stand alone without their surrounding paragraph?

The extraction test. A sentence that needs its neighbours cannot be quoted.

Item 6

Do you know which of your pages fall outside the 30–89 day update window?

Freshness as a list of URLs, not a policy statement.

Item 7

Does every first-party number in your reporting have a record naming the tool, the parameters, the date and the sample size?

The report itself has usually never been audited.

Item 8

Is your re-audit window set at 45 days or longer?

Shorter than that and you are grading work that has not landed.

Your numbers (optional)

These produce the two arithmetic outputs: your indexability gap and your disagreement ratio.

Our own numbers, measured on our own estate

Our own audit came back crawl-clean and retrieval-blind. These are the numbers that showed it.

MeasuredWhat it is
14 of 17Top-10 pages with zero AI citationsOur own estate: 17 pages ranked in Google's top 10 (average position 10 or better), and 3 of them were cited by an AI engine. · Indexable, 7 September 2026, n = 223 pages
median 6.81 days, P90 37.10 daysHow long citations lag publicationThis is the reason a 45-day evaluation window beats a 30-day one: at 30 days you are reading the lag, not the result. Third-party measurement, not ours — and we hold it second-hand, so treat it as directional. · Profound, 2026, as reported in LinkedIn's 2026 AI Search Visibility guide
33 of 100Our own composite agent-readiness score, on Indexable's own scaleDiscoverability 67, content accessibility 0, bot access control 33, protocol discovery 33. This is our scale, not a vendor dashboard score. · Indexable, 9 September 2026

If you cannot fill in the AI-cited field, your score is provisional — that missing input is the finding. One domain, one window: a case study, not a law.

An audit that never opens the retrieval half is half an audit

The gap list — ranking pages with zero citations, by URL, with the passage-level reason — is the deliverable most audits do not contain.
