DigiJaws AI Search Readiness Index. DigiJaws, 2026. https://digijaws.com/ai-search-data/DigiJaws publishes live, first-party data on how ready the web is for AI search — and a calculator for what AI search is costing you. The numbers below update as our platform scans real sites. All of it is free to reference, and available as an open API for crawlers, agents, and developers.
This index is one of several original research projects we publish. Browse them all in DigiJaws Data — including The AI Overview Prevalence Benchmark (how often Google now answers with an AI Overview, and which domains it cites) and The AI Crawler Blocking Report (how often the web’s biggest sites block GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot).
First-party data, updated live as DigiJaws scans real websites. Last updated Aug 23, 2026.
What AI search is costing you
Estimate based on your inputs and the adjustable AI-shift assumption above. With 68% of US Google searches already ending without a click in early 2026, this is the search-driven revenue exposed if AI engines do not recommend you. Check your AI-readiness free.

FAQ
Is this data live?
The first-party readiness figures are live — they recompute as DigiJaws scans new sites. The market-context statistics are sourced from published research and updated periodically, with sources shown.
Can I use this data?
Yes. It is free to reference and cite, and available via the open API above. Attribution to DigiJaws (digijaws.com) is appreciated.
How is the AI-readiness data collected?
DigiJaws scans real websites against weighted signals across discovery, understanding, and trust, then aggregates the results anonymously into this index.
How does this differ from the AI Crawler Blocking Report?
This index samples the general web — a broad cross-section of real sites — and is the better guide to what a typical website looks like. The AI Crawler Blocking Report samples the web’s largest and most-visited sites, where AI-blocking is far more common. Read together, they show how differently big publishers and ordinary sites are treating AI crawlers.
