For retailers · service companies · public agencies

Your next customer may never see your website.

People are handing their AI assistants the jobs your website was built for: comparing prices, completing purchases, paying bills, and filing forms. The agent reads your site, tries to finish the task, and moves on when it can't. If your checkout, forms, or pages block it, the sale goes to a competitor whose site lets it through.

We audit your website the way an agent experiences it, then fix what stops the task from finishing.

No sign-up. The check runs on this page and takes about two minutes.

01

Price comparison

Agents check every store they can read, not just the ones a person has time for. Unreadable prices are treated as no offer at all.

02

Shopping & payment

Carts, checkouts, reorders, bill pay, and subscriptions are increasingly completed by an agent working from a short instruction.

03

Forms & filings

Paying local taxes, applying for benefits, and filing a homestead exemption are exactly the chores people most want to hand off.

Field notes

What actually stops an agent today

These are not edge cases. They are the everyday failures we find when a real agent tries to buy, book, pay, or file on a conventional website, documented from live task attempts.

Hard stop

CAPTCHA with no way around it

A visual puzzle is the single most common dead end. The agent is authorized by your customer, but the site gives it no legitimate way to prove that.

The costThe purchase is abandoned and completed at a competitor the agent can get through.
Hard stop

Forced account creation mid-task

Checkout or a filing stops to demand a brand-new account and password. An agent cannot invent credentials for its user, so the task ends there.

The costA ready-to-pay customer is lost at the last step, after you already won the comparison.
Hard stop

Listings that no longer exist

Search results, social posts, and aggregator copies keep advertising a product, job, or form that was pulled days ago. The agent follows the trail into a redirect or a dead page.

The costWasted attempts, wrong quotes given to your customer, and a reputation for stale information.
Derails

“Something went wrong”

A generic error with no field named and no fix suggested cannot be recovered from. A person guesses and retries; an agent reports failure and stops.

The costRecoverable problems become abandoned orders and support calls.
Derails

Sessions that erase progress

A short timeout or one accidental reload wipes a half-finished application. Long government and insurance forms are where this hurts most.

The costMulti-step tasks fail near the finish line, where the customer's effort was highest.
Derails

Totals revealed only at the end

Fees, taxes, and delivery charges appear on the final screen, after the agent already quoted its user a price. The quote was wrong through no fault of the agent.

The costYour store looks more expensive than it is, or the order is cancelled when the real total lands.
The readiness standard

Three tiers, in the order that matters

Our audits score a site against this standard. Tier 1 decides whether an agent can finish the task at all. Nothing in Tier 3 matters until Tier 1 is in place.

Task completion. These are the blockers: remove them and an authorized agent can buy, book, pay, and file on your site end to end.

  • An API or agent endpoint for core actionsSearch, price, cart, checkout, submission: the tasks themselves, not just pages about them.
  • A real alternative to CAPTCHA-only gatesVerify by account sign-in, payment instrument, or a one-time email or text link instead of a puzzle.
  • Guest completion, no forced sign-up mid-flowOffer the account after the task is done, never as a toll gate in the middle of it.
  • A stable link for every stateEvery product, step, and status reachable by a URL an agent can bookmark, share, and return to.
  • Resumable flowsProgress survives a timeout, a reload, and a return visit the next day.
  • Safe retriesSubmitting twice can never charge twice or file twice. Retries are expected behavior, so design for them.
  • Durable confirmation with a reference numberEvery completed task ends with a number the customer and the agent can cite later.
  • Honest status, everywhereSold out, closed, expired, or withdrawn is stated at once, on every copy of the listing.
Self-assessment

The 2-minute readiness check

Answer for your site as it works today, not as you hope it works. Your score and your three highest-impact fixes update as you go.

Q1Can a customer check out, book, or submit as a guest, without creating an account first?

Q2If a bot check or CAPTCHA appears, is there another way through, such as sign-in, payment, or an emailed link?

Q3Are the full totals (price, fees, tax, delivery) visible before the final step?

Q4Does every product, service, and form have its own stable link that still works when revisited later?

Q5If a session times out or the page reloads mid-task, is the customer's progress saved?

Q6Does every completed payment or submission end with a confirmation and a reference number?

Q7Are your key facts (prices, hours, eligibility, deadlines) in plain text, not only in images or PDFs?

Q8When something is sold out, closed, or expired, does the page say so clearly, right away, everywhere it appears?

What we do

From first audit to a site agents finish on

Three engagements, sized for businesses that sell or serve online. Every one starts from real task attempts on your live site, not a generic checklist.

01

Readiness Audit

We send AI agents through your most valuable customer journeys (buying, booking, paying, applying, filing) and record exactly where each one succeeds, struggles, or gives up. You get the evidence, not an opinion.

DELIVERED IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS · NO ACCESS TO YOUR SYSTEMS NEEDED
  • Task-by-task results on your top 5 customer journeys
  • Every failure documented with screenshots and the agent's own account
  • Readiness score against the three-tier standard
  • Fix roadmap ordered by revenue impact, in plain English
  • Walkthrough call with you and your developer
02

Fix & Implement

We work with your developer, or bring ours, to clear the Tier 1 blockers first: guest completion, verification paths, resumable forms, honest status, structured data. Short sprints, each one ending with agents re-attempting the tasks that failed.

SPRINTS OF 2–4 WEEKS · FIXED SCOPE PER SPRINT
  • Checkout and form remediation, Tier 1 first
  • Structured data and agent discovery files
  • Verification alternatives that keep fraud controls intact
  • Re-testing after every sprint, with before-and-after scores
03

Certification & Monitoring

Sites drift. A redesign, a new checkout plugin, or a changed policy can quietly re-block agents. We re-run your top tasks every quarter, certify the result, and flag regressions before your customers' agents find them.

QUARTERLY · CANCEL ANY TIME
  • Quarterly re-tests of all certified journeys
  • Regression alerts after site changes and relaunches
  • AgentReady Certified badge for your site and listings
  • Annual review of new agent platforms and standards
Public services

Government tasks are agent tasks too

Residents are already asking their assistants to handle the paperwork of daily life. Paying property tax, filing a homestead exemption, applying for benefits, renewing a permit. These are long forms, hard deadlines, and zero tolerance for a session that times out on step nine.

We audit agency and vendor portals against the same standard, with the additions public services demand: plain-language requirements in text form, save-and-return on every form, and a confirmation number a resident can cite at the counter.

  • File a homestead exemptionAgent-ready
  • Apply for benefitsAgent-ready

Questions

Asked by owners, answered plainly

SEO gets your site found. Readiness gets the task finished. A search engine only has to read your page; an agent has to operate it: compare the total, fill the form, pass verification, and complete the payment. A site can rank first and still lose every agent-carried sale at its own checkout.

No. We never recommend removing security. We replace blanket blocks, which stop good customers and bad bots alike, with authorization: sign-in, a payment instrument, a one-time link, or a delegated permission with limits. Verified agents acting for verified customers get through; anonymous automation still does not.

Almost always. Guest checkout, full totals up front, forms that save progress, specific error messages, and honest stock status are the same things people have wanted for years. Agents are simply the first visitors who cannot improvise around their absence, so they make the cost impossible to ignore.

Not for an audit. Agents test your public site exactly as a customer's agent would meet it, and the report is written so your own developer can act on it. Access only becomes relevant if you engage us for a Fix Sprint, and even then it is scoped to the pages being changed.

The mainstream consumer assistants and browser agents your customers are most likely to send, tested as a customer would use them: given an instruction and a budget, not a guided tour. The audit report names the agents used and the exact instruction each one was given, so results can be reproduced.

The audit lands in about two weeks. Most Tier 1 blockers are configuration and flow changes rather than rebuilds, so a first fix sprint typically puts your highest-value journey back in front of agents within a month of starting.
