Is my website ready for AI agents?

Is my website ready for AI agents? Enter your address and we read robots.txt, your home page and up to three linked pages the way a simple AI agent does. You get four plain answers, each next to the same figure from our study of 694 local business sites.

Free, no account. Ten checks per hour, shared with the AI readability, mobile and technology checkers.

An AI agent can book or buy on your site when it finds a standard system: a known booking or shop service, shop software with a cart, or markup that declares a reservation or order with a target. In our study of 694 local business sites that AI assistants recommend, 27.1% offered one.

How to use this checker

Read the study behind these figures

What we read: We read robots.txt first, then your home page under a user agent that names us, the way a simple AI agent would: no scripts, no login and nothing submitted. Then we read up to three booking, shop, prices or contact pages linked from the home page on the same site, when robots.txt allows them.
The four answers: Can an agent book or buy here through a standard system? Does robots.txt close your home page to an AI agent by name? Did a bot defence refuse our reader? Is there structured data an agent can act on? Each answer shows what we found and on which page.
Compared with the study: Each answer sits next to the same figure from AIGROW Labs study 1.5, which read 694 local business sites in 20 countries that AI assistants recommend. The checker uses the study’s list of 214 booking, ordering and shop services and its rules, so your site is placed on the same four steps.

Questions about this checker

One of the 214 booking, ordering and shop services and plugins on the study’s list, embedded in a page or linked from it. Shop software with a cart counts too, and so does schema.org markup with an action such as ReserveAction or OrderAction that names a target address. A form you built yourself counts as a labelled form, one step lower.

robots.txt tells robots which pages they may read. We look for the 17 AI agent names the study looked for and sort them by use: training crawlers collect pages to train models, search crawlers build an AI search index, and user agents fetch a page because a person asked. A rule for one does not cover the others. In the study, 3.7% of the sites where robots.txt gave a clear answer closed the home page to an AI agent by name.

A firewall or bot protection service answered our request with an error status such as 403 or 429, or with a challenge page instead of your site. It is easy to miss, because the site still opens in your browser. In the study, 8.9% of the sites refused our reader this way, more than robots.txt turned away.

It reads robots.txt, your home page and up to three linked pages on the same site, without running scripts, and stops reading a page at 3 MB. A booking widget drawn by a script after the page loads can be missed, so link to your booking page as well. Links to other sites are noted, not opened, and nothing is submitted or booked.

Link to your booking or ordering service from the home page with a plain link, give every form field a label, and describe your business in LocalBusiness markup with opening hours, a telephone number and an action that names your booking address. Then check that your firewall lets AI agents in. AI Local Fix adds LocalBusiness markup to up to 10 of your pages as part of its groundwork.
