Agent Readiness

Agent readiness is whether an AI agent can access, understand, and safely use the public information on a website to complete a task.

Agent readiness is whether an AI agent can access, understand, and safely use the public information on a website to complete a task. It goes beyond whether a page looks good to a person. An agent must be able to reach relevant pages, identify what they mean, and find the information needed to act or cite it.

For a service business, that may mean an agent can find the actual service, location, price context, contact path, and supporting evidence without getting trapped in a broken form or a JavaScript-only interface.

How is agent readiness different from SEO?

SEO focuses on being discovered and ranked in a search engine. Agent readiness focuses on whether an automated system can use the site after it arrives. The two overlap in crawlability, structure, and clear content, but agent readiness adds task completion and safe interaction. Try the site’s Agent Readiness Checker for a practical starting point.
