Question 1

What is the AI Readiness Tool?

Accepted Answer

The AI Readiness Tool is a free automated scanner that checks how ready your business website is for the agentic web. You enter your URL and the tool automatically scans 20+ signals across four infrastructure layers: schema and crawler access, agent discovery endpoints, technical architecture, and measurement setup. It produces a scored report out of 100 with a prioritized fix list.

Question 2

What is the agentic web?

Accepted Answer

The agentic web is a version of the internet where AI agents browse, research, compare, and take action on behalf of people instead of people doing those things themselves. As AI agents become mainstream, businesses need infrastructure that allows agents to find them, understand them, connect to them, and act on their behalf. The AI Readiness Tool measures how prepared your website is for this shift.

Question 3

How is the AI Readiness Tool different from the AI Visibility Tool?

Accepted Answer

The AI Visibility Tool is a self-assessment focused on whether AI tools can find and cite your business today. The AI Readiness Tool is a fully automated scanner focused on whether your website infrastructure is ready for the agentic web, including agent connection protocols like MCP, discovery endpoints like llms.txt, and capability declarations. The AI Readiness Tool requires no manual input beyond your URL.

Question 4

What does the AI Readiness Tool actually check?

Accepted Answer

The tool checks four infrastructure layers. Foundation: schema markup types present, AI crawler permissions in robots.txt, llms.txt presence and quality. Discovery: MCP server endpoints, well-known directory endpoints, agent manifests. Architecture: Core Web Vitals scores, heading structure, analytics platform detection, booking system detection, image accessibility. Measurement: AI traffic tracking setup and brand monitoring practices.

Question 5

What are the AI readiness score tiers?

Accepted Answer

Scores are grouped into five tiers. Agent-Ready (80-100): your site is visible, crawlable, and connectable by AI agents. AI-Visible (60-79): AI tools can find and cite you but the site is not yet fully agent-connectable. AI-Emerging (40-59): partial readiness with significant gaps in at least one area. AI-Blind (20-39): major gaps across multiple areas. Not Indexed (0-19): critical issues detected that prevent AI access entirely.

Question 6

What is llms.txt and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

llms.txt is a plain text file placed at the root of your website (yourdomain.com/llms.txt) that gives AI models a curated summary of who you are, what you offer, and what matters about your business. It is one of the first things an AI agent checks when evaluating your site. The AI Readiness Tool checks whether your llms.txt file exists and whether it contains meaningful content.

Question 7

What is MCP and why does the tool check for it?

Accepted Answer

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is the standard that allows AI agents to connect to your website systems in real time and take action, such as checking availability, booking appointments, or retrieving information. Businesses with MCP infrastructure are connectable by AI agents, not just findable. The AI Readiness Tool checks whether your site has an MCP server endpoint active.

Question 8

Is the AI Readiness Tool free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter your URL and receive a full scored report at no cost. Your results are emailed to you along with a prioritized fix list tailored to your specific gaps.

Question 9

What should I do after I get my score?

Accepted Answer

Your report includes a prioritized fix list with difficulty ratings for each item. Easy fixes can often be done same day. More advanced fixes like MCP server setup or Abilities API declarations may require developer help. Advisors Marketing offers a free 30-minute consult to walk through your results and map out a plan to raise your score.
