Meet Quence: a free, instant check of how ready your site is for Google and AI

Every website we build or take on starts the same way, with a health check. Is the site set up so Google can rank it? Can the new wave of AI assistants actually read it? Is it fast on a phone, and are the basics like HTTPS and a privacy policy in place? We ran those checks by hand, over and over, and realised most business owners have no simple way to see the same picture for themselves. So we built one, called it Quence, and made it free for anyone to use.

What Quence tells you

You type in your web address, wait a few seconds, and get a score out of 100 with a plain-English breakdown. Here's a real audit, of our own site:

It's built around three things that decide whether a site brings in work:

• Findability: the SEO basics Google needs to rank you, like titles, headings, a sitemap and being properly indexable.
• AI-readiness: whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI can actually reach, read and quote your site, checked crawler by crawler.
• Technical health: HTTPS, mobile, page speed and security headers, the foundations everything else sits on.

It also runs a quick compliance-basics check, flagging whether a privacy policy, terms and a cookie notice appear to be present. That part only looks for whether they exist. It doesn't read the wording and it isn't legal advice, but it's a useful nudge when something obvious is missing.

It shows its working

A score on its own is easy to distrust, so Quence shows the evidence behind every finding and tells you, in order, what to fix first. There's no fake urgency, no invented problems, and no sign-up needed just to see your score. If a check passes, it says so. If something's wrong, it shows you the exact issue and how to put it right.

Why we made it free

Honestly, because it helps. A business that can see where its website stands can make a better decision, whether that's a quick fix they handle themselves or a bigger job they hand to someone. We'd rather show you the truth for free than sell you a problem you didn't know you had. And if you do want it sorted, you'll know where we are.

Keep an eye on it over time

Websites drift. A plugin update blocks a crawler, a page slips to noindex, an SSL certificate lapses, and nobody notices for months. So Quence has an optional weekly watch that re-checks your site and emails you only when something material changes. It starts with a free month and cancels in a click. The audit itself stays free, always.

Quence exists to make the invisible parts of your website visible, so nothing important is quietly costing you customers.
