Can an AI agent actually find, read and buy from your business?

Being mentioned by ChatGPT is yesterday's game. The next wave is agents acting — booking, buying, comparing — without a human ever visiting your site. We scan 14 signals across four categories and give you an honest score in 60 seconds.

How the scan works

Four layers.
Fourteen signals.
One honest score.

01 ·
Discoverability
Can an agent even find you? robots.txt policy for GPTBot / ClaudeBot / PerplexityBot, llms.txt, sitemap, canonical signals.
02 ·
Structured data
Can it read you without guessing? JSON-LD schema.org, Organization / LocalBusiness / Product markup, Open Graph, entity consistency.
03 ·
Agent access
Can it query you directly? MCP server endpoint, /.well-known/ surfaces, OpenAPI / Swagger presence, OAuth for agents.
04 ·
Transaction readiness
Can it actually buy? Machine-readable pricing, product feeds, ACP / agentic checkout hooks, availability signals.
Honest questions

Things people usually ask.

Is this the same as SEO or AEO?
No. SEO gets humans to your site via Google. AEO (what AEO-REX does) gets you mentioned when humans ask ChatGPT. Agent Readiness is about agents acting — booking, buying, comparing — without a human loading your page at all. Different surface, different signals, different stack.
Does this actually fetch my site?
Yes. Agentrex pulls your robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, homepage HTML, and probes common agent / API endpoints via our own server-side proxy. Some sites block automated fetches — in that case we mark the check "unknown" rather than failing you unfairly. It's a diagnostic, not a verdict.
Why does "agent readiness" matter today?
Honestly? Most SMEs don't need this yet. But OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol shipped with Stripe, Perplexity Shopping is live, and Google, Anthropic and Shopify are all pushing agent-driven purchase flows. The businesses that quietly get ready in 2026 will dominate the category in 2027.
What score should I aim for?
60+ puts you ahead of 95% of UK SME sites right now. 80+ means you're genuinely agent-native. Anything under 30 is where most businesses start — don't panic, just fix it before your competitors do.
