How Iris works

Iris does four things, in this order: it audits a page or a whole site, it hands you the fixes, it proves whether AI engines actually name you, and with Autopilot it keeps the fixes applied without anyone touching the code. This page walks through each one with real screenshots from the workspace.

Step 1
Audit one page

Go to nextiqumai.com/iris, paste any public URL and press Audit this page. No sign-up. Iris fetches the page the way a search crawler first sees it (the raw HTML, before JavaScript runs), reads its signals, and in about a minute returns two scores, the reasons behind them, and the fixes.

The Iris page with the free audit box: paste a URL, Audit this page, Scan whole site, Make my site AI-readable
The Iris page. One box, three actions: audit a page, scan the whole site, or build the AI-ready pack.

Signed-in members run the same audit from the workspace and get history, score-over-time and the extra tools shown below. Every audit ends with Apply the fix: one corrected <head> block containing only the tags that are missing or wrong, ready to paste, plus a prioritised list of quick wins with the code for each.

An Iris audit result: SEO score 100, AEO 100, what changed since the last audit, Apply the fix, and the summary
A result in the workspace: both scores, what changed since the last audit, the Apply-the-fix block and the plain-language summary.

Step 2
What the scores mean

SEO score is how well the page is built for search today: indexable, canonical, title and description at the right length, one H1, alt text, robots and sitemap present, and so on. It is deterministic, so a change in the score is a real change on the page.

AEO (AI-search readiness) is how easy the page is for an answer engine to parse, quote and attribute: structured data, question-style headings, an author and date where the page type needs them, lists, and an llms.txt on the site. It is a prediction about your page.

Underneath, four facets explain the two numbers. Discoverability, Content and Structured data are read from the page. GEO is different: it is the only one that is measured rather than predicted, because it asks real AI engines whether they name you (Step 4).

The four facets: Discoverability 100, Content 100, Structured data 100, GEO 0 of 8, with Share report, Compare vs competitor and Does AI cite you buttons
The facets. A page can be perfectly built and still not be named: that gap is the whole point of Iris.

Step 3
Scan the whole site

On paid plans, Scan whole site reads your sitemap and the links on your homepage, fetches the pages in parallel, scores each one, and reports the issues that repeat across the site so one fix lifts many pages. It also runs the Agent-Ready check: which AI crawlers your robots.txt allows (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot), whether your sitemap is fresh, and whether you have an llms.txt. If you do not, Iris writes one from the pages it just read.

Pages that have not changed since the last scan are served from a one-week cache and do not spend a run, so re-scanning after every small edit is cheap. A scan costs one run per five pages found, at most eight.

Step 4
Does AI name you? The citation check

This is the number a client actually cares about. Iris works out what your page is about, writes the questions a buyer in that category would ask, and puts them to live web-search AI engines (Groq web search, Gemini grounded with Google Search, and ChatGPT search where enabled). Every engine answers every question. The result is a coverage grade from A to F, a tally per engine, and who was named instead of you with each competitor's share of the answers.

Two honesty rules are built in. An engine that fails to answer is left out rather than scored as a miss, and a placeholder domain a model writes while explaining a method (yourdomain.com and friends) is never counted as a competitor. With four questions the panel says so: treat it as a signal, not a statistic. Admins can raise the question count.

Step 5
Share a client-ready report

Any audit or whole-site scan can become a public, read-only link (nextiqumai.com/r/…) that opens without an account and has a Download as PDF button. The report leads with the outcome: the coverage grade and the "named in X of Y answers" verdict, then who was named instead, then readiness and the fixes. On paid accounts the citation evidence is refreshed when the link is opened if it is more than a week old. Links expire after a week; you can always make a new one.

A shared whole-site report: AI coverage grade F, SEO score 98, AI-search readiness 92, and the Named instead of you list
A shared whole-site report. Grade first, then the competitors that took the answers, then the fixes.

Step 6
The AI-ready pack: llms.txt and Markdown

A web page is mostly markup. Make my site AI-readable builds an llms.txt index and a plain-Markdown twin of each page, zipped with a README that says exactly where to upload them. Answer engines read Markdown far more reliably than a themed page. Installers, PDFs and images are never mistaken for pages. If you use Autopilot (Step 8) you do not need to upload anything: it serves both from the edge and keeps them current.

Step 7
Monitoring and alerts

Press Monitor this page on any result. Iris re-audits the page daily (or weekly, or paused) and emails you when the SEO or AI-search score drops by more than your threshold. Monitored sites also get a weekly citation check with an email the week AI assistants start or stop naming you, or your grade changes. Explorer monitors 5 pages, Enterprise Domain 20.

Step 8
Autopilot: the fixes applied for you

Every other tool stops at the report. Autopilot closes the gap: Iris applies the fixes to each page as it leaves your site, so nobody has to edit a theme or paste code. It runs from a small Worker installed in your own Cloudflare account, or from the WordPress plugin if you are not on Cloudflare. Your files are never modified.

The Iris workspace with the Autopilot panel: connect a site, 0 of 20 sites
The Autopilot panel in the workspace. Connect a domain and Iris shows what it would change before anything is installed.

How installing works

  1. Connect. Type your domain and press Connect site. Iris reads your homepage and shows the exact tags and schema it would add or replace. Nothing is installed yet.
  2. Install. On Cloudflare: paste one API token (Zone Read, Workers Scripts Edit, Workers Routes Edit) and Iris installs the Worker for you; the token is used once and not stored. Or press Copy worker code and paste it into your Cloudflare dashboard. On WordPress without Cloudflare: download the plugin with your site key inside, upload, activate.
  3. Pages go live. Every page a visitor opens is prepared on first sight, or press Seed from sitemap to prepare the whole site in advance. Markup fixes apply immediately: title and description length, canonical, Open Graph, Twitter card, Organization, WebPage and BreadcrumbList schema, the language attribute, alt text for images that have none, plus llms.txt, /md/ mirrors and the IndexNow key file.
  4. Content changes wait for you. A heading reworded into a question, or a FAQ block, is a change a reader sees, so it is never silent. You get one email per site listing every proposed change with the before and after text and a decline link per page. If nobody objects within the window (48 hours by default, 0 to 168) it applies. In the panel you can apply now, decline, undo or allow any page at any time.
  5. Proof. A day after a page goes live, Iris scores it again through your live site and shows before and after, per page, then re-checks weekly. Every changed URL is pushed to Bing and the other IndexNow engines.
  6. Off switch. Every page has an on/off toggle, the site has Pause, and Remove takes Iris out entirely. Because nothing was written to your server, off means your site is exactly as it was.
Only your words. Titles and descriptions are rewritten from your page's own title, heading and copy. FAQ answers are sentences copied verbatim from the page, checked by code before they ship. Schema is built from what the page already declares. Iris never adds a claim about your business.
Nothing is edited on your server. The Worker or plugin adds the fixes to the response. Your theme, files and database are untouched.
Everything is reversible in under a minute, and every result is shown as a number, not a promise.

Step 9
Developer API

Iris Enterprise Domain includes the developer API. Create a key under Settings → Developer API; it is shown once and stored only as a hash. Call the audit and the other agents from your own server with a Bearer header, as part of your plan and with no separate bill. Every response carries an X-NX-Request-Id you can quote to support, and an invalid key answers 401 invalid_key rather than falling back to anonymous access. The full reference is at /developers.

curl https://www.nextiqumai.com/api/audit.php \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer nx_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
