Is your site ready for AI agents? A free 10-second agent-readiness check

Short version for the scrollers: a free ten-second check of whether an AI agent can read a site as data — our own homepage scraped through at 75.

I noticed the pattern before I had a name for it. Google added an Agentic Browsing audit to Lighthouse, Cloudflare shows sites an Agent Readiness score, and BrightEdge predicts that by the end of 2026 most “visitors” to commercial sites will be AI agents (probably no coordination). “Can an agent consume my site?” has become a discipline of its own — so we built a free checker for it: the AI Agent-Readiness Checker.

What the checker scores

Paste a domain — get a 0–100 score across six machine-readability signals (weights in brackets):

1. Structured data, JSON-LD (30) — the only format where an agent gets facts about the page without parsing prose: types, prices, authors, FAQs.
2. llms.txt (20) — a curated site index for AI engines (the llmstxt.org standard): what matters, where it lives, what to read first.
3. Author / Person markup (15) — the E-E-A-T anchor: who stands behind the content. A standalone Person node with knowsAbout and worksFor, not just a name in the footer.
4. sameAs entity links (15) — connecting your brand to the knowledge graph (social profiles, Wikidata) so an agent knows WHICH entity you are.
5. llms-full.txt (10) — your whole site’s content in one fetch, so an agent doesn’t crawl a hundred pages.
6. Markdown alternates (10) — rel="alternate" type="text/markdown": a clean markdown version of the page instead of tons of HTML/JS — the format RAG pipelines love.

A score of 75+ is “agent-ready”, 50–74 “partially ready”, below that agents see your site as a brick wall. A very pretty wall, but a wall!

We tested it on ourselves — honestly

Any new checker I point at our own homepage first: a tool that flatters its author is worth nothing. Hypothesis: we build this for a living, so we pass easily. What comes out is 75/100 — agent-ready, but only just: no standalone Person node (the author markup was hiding nested inside Organization, where an agent likely never looks) and no markdown alternates for the homepage. Cobbler’s children! We fixed both the same day — seomatrix.ai now serves /index.md and a proper author node. Check us — and yourself.

When a score isn’t enough

The checker answers one question: can agents read us? The uncomfortable one — does AI actually cite us on real queries? — it deliberately leaves to the free AI-visibility check, and the full picture with an element-level prioritized fix list comes from the paid GEO/SEO audit — which now includes a free month of AI-visibility monitoring.

Ours said 75, and we wrote the thing. Curious what it says about a site that didn’t.
