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.

03 ·
Agent access
Can it query you directly? MCP server endpoint, /.well-known/ surfaces, OpenAPI / Swagger presence, OAuth for agents.

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.
