A three-reader checklist for agent-ready websites

An agent-ready website has to work for three readers at once: a person or search crawler deciding whether the page is credible, an AI answer engine deciding whether it can quote the business accurately, and autonomous software deciding whether it can parse the offer and take the next step safely. Passing only the classic SEO layer is no longer enough. The durable standard is one visible set of facts, matching machine-readable data, explicit crawler access, and a purchase or contact path whose price, owner, and outcome are unambiguous.

Reader one: people and classic search

Start with the layer every legitimate website audit should already cover. A visitor and a search crawler need one canonical URL, an indexable page, a working sitemap, a clear business identity, and visible details about the service. If the page hides the seller, price, service area, or next step, newer AI layers cannot repair that ambiguity.

- Use one canonical URL and keep redirects, titles, and descriptions aligned with it.

- Allow the crawlers you want in robots.txt, and confirm the server or firewall does not block them anyway.

- Publish the seller, service, price or pricing rule, delivery expectation, refund terms, and contact route in visible text.

- Keep the conversion path usable without guessing which button, form, or checkout is authoritative.

Reader two: AI answer engines

An assistant does not experience a page the way a person does. It extracts sentences and reconciles facts across sources. Give it a short, self-contained answer to each buyer question, then make the identity and offer consistent everywhere the assistant can read them.

- Lead important pages with a quotable answer: who the service is for, what it does, what it costs, and what it does not promise.

- Keep the business name, parent organization, location, services, and contact details consistent across visible copy and structured data.

- Use Organization, Service, Offer, Article, and FAQPage JSON-LD only when the structured facts match the page a person can see.

- Treat OAI-SearchBot access as a search-inclusion decision separate from GPTBot training access.

Reader three: autonomous agents

Software agents need deterministic facts and actions, not only persuasive copy. They should be able to identify the merchant, parse availability and price, understand the fulfillment boundary, and choose a safe next action without inventing missing details.

- Publish an llms.txt entry point and stable structured identifiers for the organization, website, service, and offer.

- Expose machine-readable price, currency, availability, delivery method, and the canonical action URL.

- Return structured errors from APIs and checkouts so an agent can stop safely instead of retrying blindly.

- Make support, refund, privacy, and human-escalation routes explicit before an agent spends money or submits data.

Run the free check before buying anything

Nymrel's free AI-visibility scan checks eight technical signals on any public URL: crawler access, llms.txt, sitemap, canonical metadata, JSON-LD, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and title and description. It takes no email or signup. A clean technical score proves eligibility and machine readability signals; it does not prove that an assistant will rank, cite, or recommend the business.

What the paid audit adds

The Agent-Ready Audit applies the three-reader standard to a live production site, shows the evidence beside each pass or failure, and returns a prioritized fix list the buyer owns. The current fixed audit is $500 and starts after Stripe confirms payment. Nymrel does not promise rankings, citations, traffic, leads, or revenue; the deliverable is measured readiness, evidence, and a practical repair order.
