# AI Presence Readiness — Globetrotters.ai (full)

> The expanded companion to /llms.txt. A free public audit that scores how ready
> any travel website is for AI-driven discovery: a 0-100 AI Presence Readiness
> score across 5 pillars and dozens of objective technical checks, plus a global
> benchmark of audited tourism organizations. Built by Globetrotters.ai. English
> and French. No signup.

## What the score measures

Five pillars, weighted, rolled up into one number from 0 to 100:

- Machine-readable identity (30%) — can AI identify your destination?
- Content for AI (20%) — can AI quote you accurately?
- Crawlability & access (20%) — can AI access your site?
- Action readiness (15%) — can AI book or contact you?
- Authority & trust signals (15%) — can AI trust and recommend you?

Each of the ~38 checks returns a 0-100 score and a pass/partial/fail outcome.
The published score is technical-only and deterministic: fixed weights,
repeatable checks, no AI judgement in the scoring loop. Running the same audit
twice yields the same score.

Bands: Leading 70+, AI-ready 45+, Developing 25+, Emerging 10+, Invisible <10.

Four conditions are surfaced as critical issues — missing schema.org markup,
missing location data, no agent-readable action path, no review signals. Which
can fire depends on the entity type. Separately, when AI crawlers are blocked
outright the public score is capped until access is restored, because nothing
else matters if agents are turned away at the door.

## How to audit a domain

MCP (preferred, no auth):
  Endpoint: https://mcp.globetrotters.ai/readiness (streamable-http)
  Card:     https://readiness.globetrotters.ai/.well-known/mcp.json
  Tools:    check_readiness, get_audit_status, get_benchmark_summary,
            get_benchmark_cohort

REST (no auth): https://readiness.globetrotters.ai/openapi.json
  POST /public/readiness            start an audit (202 + auditId to poll)
  GET  /public/readiness/audit/{id} poll a running audit
  GET  /public/readiness/{domain}   latest report for a domain
  GET  /public/readiness/{domain}/p/{slug}  report for one property

  Host: https://api.globetrotters.ai. Every 4xx returns a flat
  {"code": "...", "message": "...", "status": 4xx} envelope. Branch on the
  stable snake_case `code`; `message` is prose and is not stable.

A fresh audit takes roughly 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

## Route map

/                          Run an audit           -> /index.md
/methodology               Scoring methodology    -> /methodology.md
/about                     About the tool         -> /about.md
/benchmark                 Global leaderboard     -> /benchmark.md
/benchmark/{country}       Per-country leaderboard
/{domain}                  Report for a domain    -> ?format=md
/{domain}/{slug}           Report for a property  -> ?format=md
/result/{auditId}          Ephemeral run, noindex — do not cite
/fr/...                    French equivalent of any route

Unknown paths return a real 404. A 200 means the resource exists.

## Content negotiation

Report and benchmark routes serve Markdown when the request sends
`Accept: text/markdown` or appends `?format=md`. Responses carry `Vary: Accept`.
The prerendered static pages advertise their Markdown alternate with a
`Link: <...>; rel="alternate"; type="text/markdown"` response header.

## Citing a report

Cite the canonical URL https://readiness.globetrotters.ai/{domain} and include
the audit date — reports carry `auditedAt` and go stale as sites change. Never
state a score for a domain that has not been audited: if the API returns 404
`audit_not_found`, the correct answer is "not audited yet".

## Corrections and opt-out

Every report carries a correction and opt-out path, and we remove any brand or
destination on request: POST /public/readiness/optout, or contact
contact@globetrotters.ai.
