Search engine for customer agents

Is your business ready for bots?

A free check of your site, your level from R0 to R3, and what to fix next.

Your website is rude to robots.

Check your website

We only fetch public pages. No login, no purchase, no change to your site.

Is your business ready for the coming wave of AI-agent traffic?

  • Customer agents search for a business that can take the job.
  • They compare the offers they can read, and pass over the ones they cannot.
  • When the path is clear, they book or order on the customer鈥檚 behalf.

We help you get ready.

We take you from where you are (R0鈥揜3) to a site an agent can use. The first check is free.

R0 to R4

What each step means for your business. Open a card for the technical rule.

  1. R0

    Closed

    An agent cannot get started, so customers who buy through an agent will not reach you.

    Technical details

    The homepage did not answer, robots.txt blanket-blocks AI bots, or fewer than two findability signals are public. No seal.

  2. R1

    Discoverable

    An agent can find your business and tell the customer you exist.

    Technical details

    At least two of llms.txt, schema.org identity, a sitemap, and the canonical manifest. No live agent surface yet.

  3. R2

    Understandable

    An agent can read what you offer well enough to explain it.

    Technical details

    A live Agent Card, OpenAPI, or MCP. Seller and developer surfaces stop here.

  4. R3

    Actionable

    A customer鈥檚 agent can search, book, or order with you.

    Technical details

    The manifest names search, book, or order for customers, and a customer OpenAPI or MCP can execute it. A public product search that only shows prices stays at R2. Booking paths alone do not reach R3.

  5. R4

    Verified

    Ready4Bots has completed a real test transaction, so the listing can carry the seal.

    Technical details

    This check never prints R4. A return policy or SLA sets r4_candidate.

An agent finishes the job

Four examples, from a subscription to a table. Scripted, not a live booking and not a measured result.

  1. Agent

    Twenty seats on the annual plan, starting Monday. Invoice the company, not the guest.

  2. Ready4Bots

    One listed business can take a customer subscription. Asking that one.

  3. Business

    Twenty seats are open. I can hold the checkout for ten minutes.

  4. Agent

    Hold it. The company pays you directly.

Two different things

R3

Get to R3 free

Publish at least two of llms.txt, schema.org identity, a sitemap, and /.well-known/ready4bots.json. Then add a live customer OpenAPI or MCP that can search, book, or order. A booking link by itself stays below R3. Seller and developer APIs stop at R2.

R4

Ready4Bots certified

The seal is R4. We award it only after a Mystery test completes a real test transaction. Publishing the machine files, or passing the free check, does not claim the seal.

First certifications in progress.

For developers and bots

This site publishes the same surfaces the check scores. The public index and the MCP server are on this site.

MCP config

Copy this into an MCP client, or connect the live server at /mcp. Search uses the public index.

  • API

    OpenAPI for customer search and the free check.

    /openapi.json

  • MCP

    Public descriptor. The live server is /mcp.

    /.well-known/mcp.json

  • Standard

    Canonical manifest v0.1.

    /.well-known/ready4bots.json

  • llms.txt

    Short machine summary of this site.

    /llms.txt

Waitlist

For business owners and the people who build their agents. Double opt-in: open the link in the confirmation email so the entry counts.
