AssemblyAI — what a crawler receives from assemblyai.com
Website measurement, not a product review. This page records what machine clients received from assemblyai.com. It does not evaluate AssemblyAI software, features, pricing or support.
Answer engines can reach and read this site. It needs more it can quote.
AI visibility 76/100, measured 2026-10-09 22:20 UTC from outside its network, as each named AI and search crawler and as a browser. An engine can reach and read this site. What is left is giving it something specific to say.

The three stages, in the order an engine hits a site
Each stage gates the next. An engine that cannot reach a page never reads it; one that cannot read it never quotes it. That is why reach is a ceiling and not just a weight.
Stage 1 · 40% of the score
Reach
Can a named answer-engine crawler get your pages at all?
Every named crawler was served the same page a browser gets.
Stage 2 · 30% of the score
Read
Once it has the bytes, can it find the words?
The content is buried in markup, or the files that guide a crawler are missing.
Stage 3 · 30% of the score
Quote
Is there a specific fact it can state and attribute?
An assistant would have to paraphrase your page instead of quoting a fact.

The stage to fix first is quote, because the three run in order.

What we saw
The machine files a crawler reads before the page total 224,379 bytes, 1.16x the homepage HTML (193,783 B); the heaviest are /sitemap.xml 220,019 B, /llms.txt 3,959 B, /robots.txt 401 B.
Why it matters
A crawler reads robots.txt, the sitemap, llms.txt and the agent files before the first page, and pays for every 404 that answers with a full page. Keep machine files as small as their job allows and serve absent paths with a short 404 body.
How to fix it
Read the evidence below, then change what the server sends at that path. Re-scan to confirm: done is measured, not asserted.

Or have them fixed
We implement the list on your site and re-measure, with a sealed before and after. One site, $749 once.
Get this fixed — $749The main product
We fix the 1 finding on assemblyai.com. $749, once.
One site. You keep the grade for free — this is the part where the list stops being a list.
- Every finding implemented on the site itself: machine files, schema, NAP, the lot
- An entity map authored for your business, not a template with the name swapped
- Measured again afterwards — the before and the after, sealed, so it is evidenced rather than claimed
- Thirty days of monitoring included
- Work starts within two business days
What it covers · one payment, nothing recurring
The chain a crawler follows
The chain breaks at entity graph. Everything after that point is only reachable by a crawler guessing the conventional path.
A machine file that does not parse is worth less than one that is absent, because it looks present. Rows behind this.
Where the bytes go
Of the 193,701 decompressed bytes the homepage delivers, 5.8% is text a reader or a model can actually use. Most of what a crawler downloads here is not words.
- Readable text 5.8% · 11,309 B
- Markup & attributes 67.4% · 130,638 B
- Inline CSS 5.7% · 11,094 B
- Inline JavaScript 18% · 34,872 B
- Inline SVG 1.8% · 3,426 B
- HTML comments 1.2% · 2,362 B
The individual blocks that weigh the most, so the fix is a search rather than a hunt:
