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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

Recently scanned

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

15pt

agents.md

agents.md is the primary self-description file AI agents look for when deciding how to interact with a site.

10pt

llms.txt

llms.txt is the emerging convention for pointing LLMs at the most relevant content on a site.

3pt

llms-full.txt

llms-full.txt provides an extended, unabridged version of llms.txt for agents that can handle more context.

8pt

Content negotiation

Agents that request text/markdown should receive a lightweight markdown response instead of full HTML.

8pt

Structured data (JSON-LD)

JSON-LD structured data gives agents a machine-readable summary of what an organization or page is.

6pt

sitemap.xml

A sitemap helps agents discover the full set of pages worth crawling or indexing.

6pt

Meta hygiene

Title, meta description, and Open Graph tags give agents (and the humans they act for) a reliable summary of the page.

4pt

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

10pt

robots.txt AI access

robots.txt controls whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) can access your site at all.

10pt

MCP server card

An MCP server card at a well-known location lets agents discover tool/action interfaces automatically.

10pt

.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.

10pt

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.

8pt

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

2pt

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.

Even the giants are not ready yet.

How it works

1

Scan

Run a free scan and get a shareable report in seconds, no signup, no install.

2

Fix

Displace implements agents.md, llms.txt, structured data, an MCP server card, and x402 payment support.

3

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.

Recommended

Full access

You add us to your repo, CMS, or hosting. We implement directly, following your staging and approval process. Highest score ceiling.

No credentials

Guided kit

No access needed. We generate every file with paste-ready instructions per platform. Your developer applies, we re-scan and confirm.

Zero code changes

Cloudflare edge

If your DNS runs on Cloudflare, we serve everything from a Worker on your zone. Your website code is never touched.

What you receive Before/after reports Every file we created One-page implementation summary Re-scan confirmation Five business days from access

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.

The day-by-day: how we work.

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.
