Will the scan tell me what's wrong with my website?
Yes — Grinza's free scan gives you a plain-language report that points to specific problems: whether AI can read your services, whether your site looks abandoned, and whether your business details match across the web. It's described as a good indicator, not a guarantee, and some findings still need a person to confirm.
What the scan actually checks
The scan looks at four things on any public web address you enter: whether AI can read your site (is there structured data, or just a page of text?), whether the site looks active (when was it last updated?), whether your details match everywhere (name, address, phone consistent across your site, Google, Yelp, and elsewhere), and whether you show up anywhere else — Google Business posts, Maps, YouTube, directories.
A sample result on Grinza's homepage shows what this looks like in practice: a plumbing site scoring 34/100, flagged for no structured data ("AI engines see a page of text, not a plumber"), a homepage last updated in March 2019, a phone number that differs on Yelp, no Google Business posts in 14 months, and a homepage that loads in 6.8 seconds on mobile. Each of those is a specific, named problem — not a vague grade.
What you get back
The scan takes about sixty seconds and is free. You get a score out of 100 and, per Grinza's how-it-works page, "a plain-language report on what AI can and can't see." It's built to read like something a non-technical business owner can act on, not a developer's audit.
Under the hood, this is checking for things like structured data — the machine-readable markup that tells search and AI systems what a page is actually about — and basic page performance, which Google's Core Web Vitals documentation covers if you want to understand why load time matters.
What the scan can't tell you
Grinza's terms of service are direct about the limits here: the scan "reads what your site publicly serves and reports what it finds. It's a good indicator, not a guarantee, and it can't see everything — some findings need a person to confirm." It only fetches public pages, the same way a browser or search engine would — it doesn't log in to anything or probe for weaknesses. And you're only meant to scan sites you own or are authorized to review.
So the scan will surface real, specific issues — missing structured data, a stale last-updated date, mismatched phone numbers — but it won't replace a person looking at your actual business and confirming what's really going on.
If the scan finds problems
If your score comes back low, the next step on Grinza's side is showing you a rebuild: your words, photos, and services rebuilt on one of their designs, which you see and approve before it goes live. The Base plan ($250/month) covers the rebuild, hosting, security and backups, and two to four pieces of new content a month. Growth ($600/month) adds more content volume, social and video posting, and structured data and FAQ work aimed at getting AI to cite you directly. Both are twelve-month plans billed monthly, with no setup fee if you commit to the term.
FAQs
How long does the scan take?
About sixty seconds. You enter your web address and get a score along with a plain-language report on what was found.
Does the scan cost anything?
No, the AI-readiness scan is free.
Can I scan any website, including a competitor's?
Grinza's terms say you may only scan sites you own or are authorized to review.
What happens to my scan results afterward?
Per Grinza's privacy policy, scan results are deleted after ninety days unless you become a client.
Does a low score mean I have to sign up for the rebuild service?
No — the scan itself is free and separate from any paid plan. It just shows you what AI can and can't see on your current site.
