- What does "agent-ready" mean?
- It means AI systems can find, read, and act on your site: answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity can understand and cite your content, and AI agents can discover your tools and APIs through open standards like llms.txt, schema.org, and MCP.
- What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?
- AEO is answer-engine optimisation: being visible and citable inside AI answers rather than ranked in a list of blue links. SEO gets you into search results; AEO gets you into the answer an AI gives directly. They overlap, but AEO leans on structured data, clear question-and-answer content, and machine-readable pages.
- Do I need to pass every check to show up in AI answers?
- No. The answer-engine (AEO) checks matter most for being found and cited today. The agent-protocol checks (MCP, WebMCP, agent skills) are the frontier: useful if you want AI agents to use your site, less urgent if you only care about visibility right now.
- What do the fix prompts actually do?
- Each failing check comes with a self-contained instruction written for a coding agent. Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf and the agent implements the change in your codebase. "Copy all" hands over the whole list in one go.
- Do you store my site or my data?
- The scan reads only public pages and well-known files, the same things any browser or crawler sees. Results are cached briefly to avoid re-scanning, and nothing is published anywhere.
