What does the sixty-second scan actually check?
Grinza's free scan checks four things on your business website: whether AI engines can actually read your services, hours, and location; whether your site looks active or abandoned; whether your business details match across the web; and whether outdated software makes your site an easy target. It takes about sixty seconds and produces a plain-language report with a score.
Can AI read your site?
AI engines like ChatGPT don't browse a website the way a person does — scrolling, clicking, reading between the lines. They read data. If your services, hours, and location aren't marked up in a way a machine can parse (what's called structured data), your business is effectively invisible to an AI making a recommendation. The scan checks for this and flags it directly: a plumber's site, for example, might score 34/100 because "AI can't read your services" — there's no structured data, so AI engines just see a page of text, not a plumbing company.
Does your business look active?
A site that hasn't been touched in years reads as a business that might have closed, even if you're busier than ever. The scan looks at things like when the site was last updated and whether there have been recent Google Business posts. In the sample result on Grinza's site, a business flagged "last updated March 2019" and "no Google Business posts in 14 months" — both signals that tell AI a business may be dormant, even if that's far from true.
Do your details match everywhere?
Your name, address, and phone number need to agree across your own site, Google, Yelp, and anywhere else you're listed. The scan checks for mismatches — the sample result flagged a phone number that differed between the website and Yelp, noting that "AI trusts neither" version when there's a conflict. Small inconsistencies like this cost trust in ways a business owner never sees happening.
Is your site a sitting duck?
Beyond AI readability, the scan also looks at basic technical health: how fast the site loads, and how outdated the software running it is. Many small business sites run on WordPress with plugins that haven't been updated in years — the sample result flagged a site "running WordPress 5.4 — 12 versions behind" and a homepage that took 6.8 seconds to load on mobile. That's not just an AI problem; it's an open door for anyone looking to exploit an unmaintained site.
What you get from it
The scan is free and takes about sixty seconds — you enter a web address and get a score out of 100 along with a plain-language breakdown of what's working and what isn't. Grinza's terms note the scan reads what a site publicly serves and reports what it finds; it's a good indicator, not a guarantee, and some findings need a person to confirm. You can only scan sites you own or are authorized to review.
FAQs
Is the sixty-second scan really free?
Yes, the AI-readiness scan is free with no obligation. You enter your web address and get a score along with a report on what AI can and can't see on your site.
What happens after I get my scan results?
Grinza shows you a plain-language report on your site's score and what's driving it, and if you decide to move forward, they show you a proposed rebuild that you review and approve before anything goes live.
Can I scan a competitor's website?
No — per Grinza's terms of service, you may only scan sites you own or are authorized to review.
Does the scan check my whole online presence, not just my website?
The scan focuses on your website and how it compares to your listings elsewhere, such as checking whether your phone number or address matches between your site and places like Yelp; it doesn't audit every platform you appear on.
