How we score

Tadaaah is “one honest audit.” Here is exactly how every number is produced — a measured fact, our model's estimate, or a proxy — and how to check each one yourself.

Measured AI estimate Estimated

Most tools blend everything into one “score.” We don't. Every metric belongs to one of three tiers, and each card in your report carries a chip telling you which — so you always know how much to trust it.

Measured

Objective facts

Pulled straight from your site or Google's own tools. These should match an external check — and we put a “Verify ↗” button on those cards so you can do exactly that.

Includes: AI Crawlability (SSR), Performance & Load Speed (Google Lighthouse), Security & SSL, SEO, Content, Accessibility, Local Visibility.

AI estimate

Tadaaah's own model

Our AI-readiness model. Useful and directional — but there is no industry-standard “GEO score” to check it against. It's our informed read, not a measurement.

Includes: GEO, AEO, GSO, AI Friendliness, Design.

Estimated

A proxy

Inferred from on-page signals, not measured directly. Notably “Off-page signals”: this is NOT a real backlink count — for your true link profile, use Ahrefs, SEMrush or Moz.

Includes: Off-page signals (estimated).

Lighthouse scores vary run-to-run (Google says so themselves): expect ±5–10 points, and compare against Mobile mode.

GEO / AEO / GSO are our AI-readiness model — there is no external ground truth. The real validation: is your site actually cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?

“Off-page signals” is a proxy, not a backlink count — it won't match Ahrefs, and that's expected.
