97%
97% of the 1,038 UK accountancy firms audited were crawlable by AI, yet almost none covered the full set of AI-readiness basics.
What this means
Crawlability is the entry ticket, not the finish line: 97% cleared it while only 1 in 60 went on to cover the basics. The retrieval, entity and trust layers are where nearly every site falls short. It reframes AI visibility as a job that begins, rather than ends, once crawlers are allowed in.
