The Crane Index™ measures how cleanly the AI engines that boards, finance directors and procurement teams now consult can read a professional services firm and state, without hedging, who it is and what it does. In the run measured on 1 September 2026, only 27 of the 172 accountancy, consulting and advisory firms we approached turned an automated reader away, yet the median firm scored just 53 on the Crane Index. The doors are open. The nameplate is blank.

That blankness has a precise location. On representation, the measure of whether an engine can confirm a firm is a single, named entity from its own site, the median sits at just 25, the weakest of the three reads. Ask an assistant which advisory firm knows a sector, or which accountancy practice a finance director should shortlist, and the answer is built from the firms an engine can resolve. A firm the engine cannot name never enters that answer.

On 1 September 2026 we ran the leading professional services organisations through the Crane Index^™, our three-scanner AI Visibility Suite. Of the 172 home pages we approached, 27 could not be read by a machine at all: 20 refused an automated reader, 5 gave it no response and 2 serve pages that do not exist until scripts run. Of the 145 a machine could read, 8 cleared 70 out of 100, and the field is led by Mercer at 76, with Cherry Bekaert next at 75. Every figure here is a first-party measurement, the full dated result set is archived, and we re-run the scan and report the movement.

The sixty-second read

▸The finding: 145 of the 172 sites we approached could be read by a machine, and 8 of them cleared 70 out of 100 on the Crane Index.
▸The money: when a buyer asks an engine to shortlist suppliers, an illegible site is simply not on the list. The demand does not vanish, it goes to a legible competitor free, while your paid channels buy it back at a rising cost per acquisition.
▸The pattern to watch: in the two flagship studies, the FTSE 100 and the UK's biggest online retailers, one mechanical habit separated the top of the field from the bottom, valid structured data and one identity a machine can resolve. That is a markup sprint, not a rebuild, so a median can move faster than a board expects.

The full ranked field follows. Or test yourself first: the free scanner takes a minute.

Across the 145 readable sites the Crane Index ran from 22 to 76. 8 scored 70 or above, 52 sat between 55 and 69, 55 between 40 and 54, and 30 below 40. The strongest of the three reads was Agent Readiness at a median of 68, and the weakest was Brand Representation at 25, whether a machine can confirm from your own site who you are.

Invisible by choice: the 27 locked doors ↓

These names have no score for a sharper reason: their sites would not let a machine reader in at all. They refused it outright, gave it nothing, or serve pages that are empty until scripts run, and the crawlers and shopping agents AI engines send live in the same data centres our reader does. One fair caveat, stated plainly: a site that verifies crawlers by network may admit engines it recognises while refusing ours, so they are reported as unmeasured, never scored. But a door bolted against unknown machines is a posture, and it is one the machines now bringing buyers will meet first.

The picture in one chart

Every readable site, plotted: found by AI (across) against trusted by AI (up). Measured 1 September 2026.

The gold dashed lines sit at 55 on both reads, the level below which the facts an engine would need stop surviving the read. The top-right quadrant is found and trusted on both. Hover any dot for the company.

A low score says a site is hard for a machine to read, not that the business is anything other than excellent at what it does. The 27 sites a reader could not enter are reported as unmeasured, never scored zero. The stakes are on the record: in 2026, Google reported that its AI Mode in Search had passed a billion monthly users, and the machine-readable layer these scanners read is the structured data Google Search Central documents.

Score your own domain before you brief anyone. The free AI Search Readiness scanner is the same instrument behind this table and takes about a minute. A result below 55 means an engine is already handing your shortlist slot to whoever in your category is legible. Prefer the whole field watched for you? Daily reconnaissance of your domain beside the competitors you choose is £1,600 a year ex VAT.

This benchmark is re-run on the first of each month, every company named and every score re-measurable live, so the movement becomes public record. The top of every measured cohort sits in the leaderboard, and the full programme is at Crane Index^™ Research.

Reachable is only the easy half of the test

Getting a machine through the front door and having it understand the firm are two different achievements, and this field has managed the first while neglecting the second. Reachability means the crawler is let in and served the same pages a person sees. Legibility means that once inside, the engine can state plainly who the firm is, which sectors it serves and which partners carry which expertise. Professional services clears the first bar comfortably, with only 27 firms of 172 keeping the machine out. It stumbles on the second. The composite median of 53 leaves the typical firm short of a strong read, and its representation median of 25 is lower still. An open door is worth little when the room behind it carries no name.

The firm the machine can enter but cannot name

Walk an engine through a typical firm's site and it finds warm, well-written prose and almost no anchor it can trust. Services are described in the language a partner would use in a pitch, not the words a finance director types into an assistant. Sectors served are implied across a dozen pages and declared plainly on none. The named specialists who are the real reason to hire sit as bylines an automated reader cannot tie to a discipline. A group spread across brands, offices and microsites offers the machine nothing single to resolve, so it cannot decide whether it is looking at one firm or five. The result is the spread this month's scan found: Mercer leads the field at 76, while scores run down as far as 22. Only 8 firms cleared the Strong band of 70, and 85 sit below 55: open enough to be reached, too blank to be recommended.

What an unproven identity costs a firm that is genuinely good

Poor legibility shows up as absence, never as a lower position on a list a buyer can see. When an engine cannot confirm who a firm is, it does not hedge in the firm's favour; it names the practice it could resolve and moves on. So the firm that is formidable in the boardroom and unreadable on the page is quietly left off the shortlist, and the mandate it never saw goes to a rival that may be the weaker practice on merit. The loss compounds, brief by brief, because an enquiry that never arrives leaves no trace to find in any report. The field reads strongest on Agent Readiness (a median of 68) and weakest on Brand Representation (a median of 25), which tells the whole story: firms are being retrieved, then failing to be understood.

Becoming one firm the engine can resolve

This is the rare Crane Index field where the hard part is already done. The machine is being let in; the work is giving it something to recognise. Name each service in the plain words a buyer would use to ask for it. State the sectors you serve, in a sentence, on the page. Tie every named partner to the expertise that earns the fee. Bring the case studies and the thought leadership out of gated PDFs and onto readable pages an engine can reach. Above all, give the group one resolvable identity, rendered identically across every brand, office and microsite, so an engine has a single firm to trust rather than a scatter to guess at. Our note on how the three scores are built sits in the methodology, the free AI readability check shows how your own firm reads to an engine today, and the deeper craft of proving one identity across a group is the ground covered in technical SEO and AI search. Firms already run continuous monitoring at £1,600 a year ex VAT to watch that identity hold as the engines change. The doors are open. The task now is to put a name on the door.
