Agent readiness certification
Can AI agents read your site?
Being readable is the prerequisite to being recommended. Scan any domain against 14 checks that decide whether AI agents can read, trust, and transact with your site. Free, in seconds.
Or skip ahead: tailored proposal in 24 hours. Three steps, 90 seconds.

Agents do not render your design. They read what you declare.

The mechanism
Where the money actually comes from
No agent-readiness vendor can honestly promise you a revenue number. Here is what actually happens instead, step by step.
Buyers are already arriving through AI
AI traffic to US retail sites grew 393% year over year in Q1 2026, and AI-sourced shoppers converted 42% better than non-AI traffic. Source: Adobe Analytics, Apr 2026. This part is not up to you. It is happening either way.
Agents can only send them to stores they can read
An assistant recommends what it can parse, cite, and verify. If your products, prices, and policies are not machine-readable, you are not in the answer. Not penalized. Absent.
Readiness decides whether that traffic finds you
Your scan score is the gate. We cannot promise how many walk through it. We can open it in 5 days, guaranteed to a 95 or higher score, and prove it with a public report.

What we scan
The 14 checks
Every check below is weighted and re-run on every scan. Nothing here is a mockup: it is the exact list this scanner grades against.
Content
agents.md
agents.md is the primary self-description file AI agents look for when deciding how to interact with a site.
llms.txt
llms.txt is the emerging convention for pointing LLMs at the most relevant content on a site.
llms-full.txt
llms-full.txt provides an extended, unabridged version of llms.txt for agents that can handle more context.
Content negotiation
Agents that request text/markdown should receive a lightweight markdown response instead of full HTML.
Structured data (JSON-LD)
JSON-LD structured data gives agents a machine-readable summary of what an organization or page is.
sitemap.xml
A sitemap helps agents discover the full set of pages worth crawling or indexing.
Meta hygiene
Title, meta description, and Open Graph tags give agents (and the humans they act for) a reliable summary of the page.
Content readability
If the homepage is almost entirely markup/script with little extractable text, agents that don't execute JS see an empty page.
Trust
robots.txt AI access
robots.txt controls whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) can access your site at all.
MCP server card
An MCP server card at a well-known location lets agents discover tool/action interfaces automatically.
.well-known/verified.md
Publishing /.well-known/verified.md is the strongest first-party signal that a site actively participates in agent-readiness self-attestation.
HTTPS + redirect
Agents should reach the site over HTTPS, and plain HTTP should redirect there so credentials and payloads are never sent in the clear.
Bot access
If the homepage returns a 403 or a challenge page to a scanner-style user agent, real agents likely get blocked too.
Payments
x402 payments (experimental)
x402 is an emerging standard for agent-native micropayments over HTTP 402. Early support signals forward-looking infrastructure.
Our own playbook
We ran it on ourselves first.
Before shipping this scanner, we pointed it at our own agency site. Then we fixed every failing check and re-scanned the same day.
The field
Even the giants are not ready yet.
How it works
Scan
Run a free scan and get a shareable report in seconds, no signup, no install.
Fix
Displace implements agents.md, llms.txt, structured data, an MCP server card, and x402 payment support.
Certify
Monthly re-verification keeps a live badge and registry entry current, so agents can trust the score.
llms.txt, MCP, and x402 are living standards. Certification keeps your site current as they move, and proves it monthly.

How we work with your site
Access is your call, not a blocker
Implementation never changes what human visitors see. Everything we add is machine-facing files your customers never load.
Full access
You add us to your repo, CMS, or hosting. We implement directly, following your staging and approval process. Highest score ceiling.
Guided kit
No access needed. We generate every file with paste-ready instructions per platform. Your developer applies, we re-scan and confirm.
Cloudflare edge
If your DNS runs on Cloudflare, we serve everything from a Worker on your zone. Your website code is never touched.
Hosted builders like Webflow or Shopify cap around 85 to 90 unless fronted by Cloudflare. We tell you your ceiling before you pay, not after.

Frequently asked
What is agent readiness?
How easily an AI agent, not a human in a browser, can read, trust, and transact with your site: whether it declares itself in agents.md and llms.txt, allows AI crawlers, exposes structured data, and signals payment support agents can act on.
Will this change my site's design?
No. Agent readiness work adds files and headers (agents.md, llms.txt, structured data, response headers) alongside your existing site. Your design, layout, and brand stay exactly as they are.
What is llms.txt/agents.md?
Emerging conventions for a plain-text or markdown file that tells AI agents and LLMs what your site is, what it offers, and where to find the content that matters, without them having to render and guess from your HTML.
What is x402?
An emerging standard for agent-native micropayments over HTTP 402 Payment Required, letting an AI agent pay for access to an API or piece of content directly, without a human checkout flow.
How is the score computed?
Each of the 14 checks has a weight. A check that passes earns its full weight; a failed check earns zero. The score is earned weight divided by total weight, scaled to 100, then mapped to an A+ to F grade.
Do I need to give you access to my site?
No, not always. Full access: you add us to your repo, CMS, or hosting, and we implement directly, the highest score ceiling. Guided kit: no access needed, we generate every file with paste-ready instructions and your developer applies them. Cloudflare edge: if your DNS runs on Cloudflare, we serve everything from a Worker on your zone and your website code is never touched.
What is the Agent Ready Kit?
The self-serve tier: EUR 99 per site, no signup call, no access to your site required. We generate every file it is missing, agents.md, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, an MCP card, a self-attestation, robots.txt amendments, and JSON-LD, from your own site content, and deliver it within 24 hours with paste-ready instructions for your platform. Your developer (or you) applies it, we re-scan and confirm the result. If you later want everything implemented for you instead, that cost applies toward Done for you.
Who writes the agents.md content?
We draft it from your own site content, positioning, and offers. You approve every word before anything ships.
What exactly do I receive?
Before and after reports, every file we created, a one-page implementation summary, confirmation from the re-scan, and delivery within five business days of getting access.
What happens if I cancel certification?
Your badge switches to a neutral, not-current state, and your registry entry is marked lapsed. The files we implemented stay live on your site; the work is yours to keep.
What does the score guarantee cover?
The score guarantee applies to Done-for-you only. After we implement, we re-scan; if the result is below 95 (or below your platform's documented ceiling, for example 85 on native Shopify, see the relevant /for page) we refund in full. The Agent Ready Kit is not covered, since it is self-installed and we do not control whether the files actually get applied to your site.
