Apple Card's strongest surface is Customer Care, scoring 70 out of 100. On the two-dimension split, Technical Readiness is the relative strength at 27/50, which means the work that surface owns reads more cleanly to a research or comparison agent than the field average.
The largest gap is Credit Cards at 33. Content Architecture is the side holding the overall score down at 24/50. The standard first move is the published playbook: add FinancialProduct and CreditCard JSON-LD with real APR, fee, and rewards values, add FAQPage schema, and confirm AI crawlers are whitelisted in robots.txt.
The encouraging read: Apple Card already has a higher-scoring surface to model from. Extending what works on Customer Care to the lagging surfaces converts existing content into agent-readable answers without a redesign.
Apple Card scores 51 out of 100, balanced across both dimensions. The next points come from depth on the surfaces that trail, starting with Credit Cards.
