Methodology

How the Agent Readiness Audit works.

The Snapshot evaluates whether public website content gives AI systems enough clear, structured information to classify, compare, and recommend a business with confidence. It includes GEO readiness: how well the site supports generative engines, AI search, copilots, and answer engines.

What is reviewed

The standard Snapshot reviews public website content only: homepage, product/service pages, pricing, about/contact, FAQ/docs/blog content when relevant, metadata, sitemap, robots, schema, and llms.txt if present.

What is not reviewed

Unless separately agreed, the Snapshot does not review private analytics, CRM data, logged-in pages, source code repositories, paid ad accounts, internal documents, legal/compliance controls, or security architecture.

Evaluation lens

The site is reviewed as if an AI buyer agent were trying to answer what the company sells, who it serves, when it should be recommended, what proof exists, how a buyer takes the next step, and what risks or requirements matter.

GEO readiness lens

GEO readiness is reviewed through the same practical lens: whether AI systems can extract a clear entity identity, category, buyer, use cases, proof points, comparison signals, constraints, freshness cues, and structured source material from the public site. The goal is not keyword stuffing. The goal is making the business easier for generative systems to understand accurately.

Recommendation confidence

  • High: the site gives enough clear information for a confident recommendation.
  • Medium: the site is understandable but missing important buyer-agent context.
  • Low: the site leaves too much ambiguity for confident recommendation.
  • Very low: AI systems may struggle to classify or recommend the business accurately.

Important note

The Agent Readiness Snapshot is based on publicly available website content and practical AI-agent evaluation heuristics. It is not legal, compliance, cybersecurity, or SEO advice, and it does not guarantee ranking or recommendation behavior by any specific AI system.
