We Score Our Own Site Every Month With the Engine That Scores Yours

We Scan Ourselves Monthly. Here's Why You Should Watch.

Every month, the engine that scores your website scores visibilitymesh.com too, and we publish the result where anyone can check it.

By Margareta Petrovic, founder of Visibility Mesh. We measure how legible ecommerce stores are to AI, and publish what we find. Updated June 2026.
Key takeaways
  • Visibility Mesh scores its own site every month with the free scan anyone can run, and the result is public.
  • You can run the same scan on your website and compare your score with ours.
  • We scan every month because a theme update or a new app can change what a crawler reads without anyone noticing.
  • Two scans of the same unchanged site usually land within about 2 points of each other. A bigger move usually means something on the site changed.

We publish our own score so you can check the method before you trust it. We run the same free scan on visibilitymesh.com every month. The score goes on the Our Own Score page with the date of the scan.

Why we publish our own score
67%
In our June 2026 study, 67% of 216 Shopify storefronts scored below 50 out of 100.entity is a common cause.
+393%
AI traffic to US retail sites grew 393% year over year in the first quarter of 2026, according to Adobe Digital Insights.
~50M
In mid 2025, about 2 percent of ChatGPT messages were about buying products, which works out to roughly 50 million a day (our estimate from OpenAI research published in September 2025).

Why go first, in public

Our own site goes through the same method and the same bands as your scan, and the result stays on the Our Own Score page for anyone to check.

We score our own site every month. Our score comes from the same free scan that scores your website. MEASURE FIX RE-MEASURE monthly WHY WE GO FIRST, IN PUBLIC Drift is real, so a scan is a snapshot, not a certificate. We publish our own score so the method is something you can check yourself. You can compare your score with ours. The only credible claim about AI legibility is one you keep re-checking out loud. VISIBILITY MESH MEASURE · FIX · REPEAT VM-S-P5-09 · r1.0 DOES AI TRUST YOU?

Why on a schedule

Visibility drifts, so a score published once goes stale like any old page. We publish a new one every month, and we recommend the same freshness habit to every store. Our own site is left out of the benchmark we publish, so the benchmark figures never include our score.

What we do Why it matters
Scan our own store, openly Anyone can check the method on a real site
Re-run it on a schedule Because legibility drifts and must be re-checked
Publish the score with its date Your score and ours sit on the same scale
A score you keep publishing again is a claim you can be held to, and that is the kind we want to make.

What you can take from our score

Run the free scan on your own website and put your score next to ours. Both come from the same engine on the same scale, and the findings in your scan show where the difference comes from. Our guide to being trusted by AI explains the trust part of the score.

A scan is a snapshot. Legibility drifts

A public, repeated scan is never settled. A theme update rewrites your structured data, an app changes a tag, a redesign orphans a page, and the layer that proves who you are regresses silently while the storefront still looks perfect to you. Your store and the web around it change weekly, so a trusted, consistent entity is a moving target, not a one-time pass. That is why serious stores measure, fix, and re-measure, and why we measure, fix, and re-measure on a public schedule.

Questions people actually ask

Why does Visibility Mesh scan its own store?

We sell a measure of how well AI can read a website, so we publish what it says about ours. The same free scan anyone can run scores visibilitymesh.com every month.

Where can I see your own score?

Our current score is on the Our Own Score page, with its band and the date of the scan. We update it every month with the same engine that scores your website.

Why update your own results regularly?

Because AI visibility drifts as themes update and apps change, so a number frozen in time would go stale. Re-scanning and re-publishing on a cadence keeps it true and demonstrates the same freshness discipline we ask of other stores.
