Scores measure website readiness for AI citation, not how often a brand is currently cited. A low score is a fixable gap, not a verdict on the business.
Each brand's public website was audited on 2026-05-11 against 94 checks across 8 categories: AI crawler access, structured data, content quality, trust and authority signals, and technical delivery. The composite is normalised to 0-100 and graded. Brands were selected as recognisable companies headquartered in or strongly associated with Silicon Valley.
This measures how readable and citable a site is to AI engines. It does not measure how often each brand is currently named in AI answers, which BrandCited tracks per brand rather than per city.
