# AI Ready Vancouver

> A free, independent project that checks whether well-reviewed Vancouver small businesses can actually be found and understood by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, not just traditional search engines.

## What this is

AI Ready Vancouver runs a real AI-readiness audit (based on Google's Lighthouse Agentic Browsing scoring, plus direct checks against AI assistants) on Vancouver businesses, then sends a free, plain-English report. It is not a sales pitch: the report is free to use with this project, a competitor, or nobody at all.

## Who runs this

Built and operated by two tech professionals based in Vancouver, Canada, as a hands-on way to understand how AI agents read the web.

## Topics this project relates to

AI search optimization, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI readiness audits, AI-readable business information, ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude/Perplexity visibility for local businesses, local SEO in Vancouver, British Columbia.
