AI search (GEO and AEO) and agent readiness resources
AI search visibility rests on three questions: can AI crawlers reach your pages, can they read and parse the content, and does it answer buyer questions clearly enough to be cited. Agent readiness adds a fourth: can an AI agent acting for a buyer evaluate your offer. Score any page with the Crawl-to-Citation Scorer.
Covers: GEO, AEO, llms.txt, structured data, AI citation tracking, agent readiness, zero-click.
