AI agent readiness · Australia

Your customers are asking AI about you. Can it find you — and book you?

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity to find, compare or book a business like yours, the AI reads your site nothing like a browser does — and often can't see you at all. We measure both halves on one score and fix what's broken.

The free check is genuinely free — one page, fetched exactly as an AI agent sees it. No pitch.

The new discovery gap

Two things have to go right. Most sites miss both.

First the AI has to mention you — then it has to be able to act on you. Here's what that failure actually looks like in the raw response an AI reads.

Why this matters now

A buying channel almost nobody is checking.

AI

AI is the new front door

For more and more decisions, people start with "ask ChatGPT," not a Google search. If the AI can't read you, you're not in the consideration set.

200

The 200-OK trap

Your site looks healthy in a browser. But agents read the raw response — and that's often where the price, the product and the booking simply aren't.

1st

First mover wins

Whole categories — Australian tourism, retail, services, SaaS — are wide open. The business an AI can read and book becomes the one it recommends.

The AI Readiness Score

One number, scored out of 100.

Two equal halves. One crawl feeds both — shared checks are scored once. You get a clear band, sub-scores, and a ranked fix list.

What we score

Ten checks, two modules, one repeatable rubric.

Every audit runs the same checks, each tied to specific evidence and ranked by impact. The heaviest item in each module is its finish line.

Module A · Can AI find & recommend you?

Visibility

scored / 50
  • 10

    Discoverability & rendering

    Are AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) allowed in, and is your content in the raw HTML — not JavaScript-only?

  • 10

    Structured data & entity clarity

    Valid JSON-LD, sameAs, entity IDs, and an llms.txt that tells the model who you are.

  • 15

    Citable content

    Answer-up-front writing, quotable passages and factual density — content an LLM can lift and quote cleanly.

  • 10

    Authority & E-E-A-T

    Named authors, organisation trust signals, dated and sourced claims.

  • 5

    Live citation test

    We actually ask the AI engines your target queries and record whether they cite you or a competitor.

Module B · Can AI act on you, end-to-end?

Operability

scored / 50
  • 10

    Data accessibility

    Prices, availability and product data in raw HTML / structured data — not trapped in images, PDFs or JavaScript.

  • 10

    API & endpoint accessibility

    Can an agent search, filter or retrieve programmatically — or is everything human-only?

  • 10

    Agent permissions & instructions

    Do you welcome acting agents and tell them how to behave — robots.txt plus an AGENTS.md?

  • 15

    Transaction capability

    Can an agent complete the core action — a booking, purchase or enquiry — start to finish, with no human-only wall?

  • 5

    Trust & identity

    Verifiable details, clear policies and agent-ready contact so an AI can transact safely.

Proof

We practise what we audit.

This site is built to score 100/100 on our own rubric — AI crawlers welcome, prices in raw HTML, valid structured data, a real llms.txt and AGENTS.md, and a booking path an agent can actually use. Don't take our word for it:

  • AI crawlers receive HTTP 200, not 403
  • Prices & offers in raw HTML and JSON-LD
  • Contact & booking readable without JavaScript

Who's behind this

An opinion you can measure.

Hi, I'm Sam Bleasdale. I test how AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity — discover and evaluate Australian businesses, and I build the analytics that show what those agents actually do on your site.

So you don't just get an audit; you get a measurement, a ranked fix list, and a clear path to being the business the AI recommends — and can book. Every audit runs the same repeatable rubric, with the evidence quoted in plain sight.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What is AI readiness?

A website is AI-ready when AI search engines can find and cite it, and AI agents can read its data and complete an action such as a booking, purchase or enquiry. We score both halves on one rubric out of 100.

How is the AI Readiness Score calculated?

Out of 100, split into two equal modules: Visibility /50 (can AI find and recommend you) and Operability /50 (can an AI agent read your data and complete an action). One crawl feeds both, scored on a fixed, repeatable rubric.

Will this guarantee my rankings in ChatGPT or Google AI?

No. We promise readiness and citability, backed by evidence — not guaranteed rankings. Anyone who promises guaranteed AI rankings isn't being honest.

How is this different from SEO?

Classic SEO gets a page into Google's index. Agent Readiness makes your content readable, citable and actionable by AI assistants and agents — a separate, newer channel that classic SEO doesn't cover.

What do I get from the free check?

We fetch one page exactly as an AI agent sees it and show you the single biggest gap stopping AI from reading, recommending or booking you — in about ten minutes, with no commitment.

Do you change my website?

Only with your approval. Audits are read-only. Any fix is shown to you first as a clear change, and you sign off before anything ships to your live site.
