Overall AI readiness assessment
How ready selectedfirms.co is for AI systems
SelectedFirms — llms-full.txt was independently audited by llmsmap. selectedfirms.co currently scores 68/100 for AI readiness. The result combines AI-specific files, crawler policy, sitemap discovery, structured homepage data, and—when available—the mobile Google Lighthouse technical profile.
Audit context
llms.txt is accessible and contains 1,679 tokens. No accessible llms-full.txt was detected, so deeper context still has to be assembled from regular pages. No separate ai.txt policy was detected; it is optional, but can clarify training, retrieval, and attribution preferences.
robots.txt is available. 11 of 11 tracked AI bots are not blocked. Declared sitemaps: 1. No Schema.org type was detected on the homepage. 0 OpenGraph tags were found and markup completeness is 0%, leaving more entity interpretation to crawlers.
The mobile Lighthouse profile adds Performance 100/100, Accessibility 96/100, Best Practices 100/100, SEO 100/100, and experimental Agentic Browsing 100/100. These signals have a limited weight: they complement rather than replace llms.txt, robots.txt, and structured-data checks.

## Ranking methodology — SARM
Every agency on SelectedFirms receives an SF Score, calculated using SARM (SelectedFirms Agency Ranking Methodology). Full details: [/ranking-methodology](https://selectedfirms.co/ranking-methodology)
SF Score is a weighted composite of two pillars:
1. **Customer Satisfaction — 60% of total score**
- Quality, recency, and volume of verified client reviews

2. **Market Credibility — 40% of total score**
- Verification status (passed independent credential checks)
- Business registration confirmation
- Documented project experience and market presence
Agencies cannot purchase a higher SF Score. Sponsored placements (where applicable) are visually distinguished and excluded from SF Score calculation.
