AI Search Readiness (AISO)
AI Search Optimisation (AISO) is how well your website is prepared for AI-powered search. Today, people use ChatGPT, Google AI, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity to find local services. Unlike traditional search, where you need to click through results, AI assistants read your website directly and recommend businesses based on how well the content is structured. A site that is ready for AI search gets cited and recommended. One that is not gets overlooked.

Methodology
All scores and metrics in this report were collected using Google Lighthouse version 13.0.3 via the Lighthouse CLI on March 17, 2026. Results were cross-checked with PageSpeed Insights.
The existing site ( https://www.knowlesgas.com) and the upgraded site ( https://kga.anrproductions.ca) were both tested on mobile and desktop with simulated throttling.
Replacement values are based on 2026 Canadian web development agency pricing from Clutch.co, GoodFirms, and local industry surveys. Speed metric thresholds follow Google Web Vitals standards.
