SearchScore Research

Research data and citation packs

Aggregate evidence behind SearchScore's most citable research, packaged so journalists, researchers and publishers can verify a finding without requesting the underlying corpus.

What is not included: row-level website lists, domain lists and URL exports. Those remain part of the SearchScore research corpus. Public packs contain aggregate counts, rates, methodology, provenance and citation metadata only.
New study

AI Crawler Policy Study 2026

Observed robots policies across 347,988 domains. The headline compares OpenAI's documented model-training crawler GPTBot with its search crawler OAI-SearchBot; seven other measured tokens are published as context with conservative role labels.

Published index

The frozen Q3 edition. Published-edition figures stay fixed even as SearchScore's live audit corpus continues to grow.

Sector study

UK Care Homes and AI Search 2026

Aggregate findings from the UK care-home study, including AI-readiness, score distribution and the CQC-rating comparison.

Sector study

UK Law Firms and AI Search 2026

Aggregate findings from 9,487 UK law-firm websites, with the JavaScript result labelled as an observed association rather than a causal claim.

Engine study

AI Source Disclosure 2026

Aggregate source-disclosure counts by AI engine. The pack reports totals and shares, not the underlying source-URL list.
