Who it is for

Three reasons UK operators commission this audit.

An audit makes sense when you suspect something is missing in your site’s machine-readable layer, want to scope a fix before paying for it, or simply want to know where you stand against the spec.

Reason 1

Validate before you invest

  • Suspect your site is invisible to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity
  • Want a structured view of what is and is not in place
  • Need a written brief to hand to your existing team
  • Want to scope a fix before committing to a sprint
Reason 2

Trust-test the agency

  • You are evaluating us against an incumbent agency
  • Want to see the standard of our work for £750 before £3,000+
  • Audit fee credits in full against the sprint inside 30 days
  • Walk-away test — no commitment, full IP transfer
Reason 3

Map the tier ladder

  • Want to know where you sit on the four-tier spec
  • Need a board-ready summary for an AI-strategy conversation
  • Want benchmark scores against three of your competitors
  • Need a 90-day plan to lift one or two tiers
The deliverable

A 20-page operator brief. Not a glossy deck.

Every audit returns the same structured deliverable. Written for an operator, not an SEO specialist. A junior developer or a virtual assistant can ship most of it.

  • 1. Tier score — where you sit on T1 findable → T4 client-agent capable
  • 2. 13 agent-readiness checks — pass / fail / not-applicable per check, with evidence
  • 3. Schema.org coverage — 15 entity types audited; what is present, what is missing, what is malformed
  • 4. Citation surface map — which of your pages an AI agent can actually quote
  • 5. Capability disclosure audit — does your site tell an AI what you sell, in a machine-readable form
  • 6. Comparator scan — how three of your named competitors score on the same checks
  • 7. Named-owner action list — every item has an owner, a fix, and a verification step
  • 8. Red, amber, green — ranking per category so you know what to ship first
  • 9. Cost-to-implement — hours-and-cash estimate per item
  • 10. 45-minute walk-through — live call, recording included
The model

Four tiers. Most UK SMB sites land at one.

The audit places you on the same four-tier scale we apply to every site we build. Your tier rating sets the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

T1 — Findable

Valid robots.txt and sitemap. Mobile viewport. Basic page meta. Organisation schema. Most UK SMB sites land here.

Baseline

T2 — Agent-discoverable

Link response headers. Eleven well-known endpoints. Markdown negotiation. Page-level Schema across 15 entity types. Response sanitiser.

Foundation+

T3 — Agent-native

Minimal MCP server exposing callable tools. Biased agent-skills index. Agentic-commerce discovery. Capability-versioned API surface.

Compound+

T4 — Client-agent capable

Per-client OAuth-scoped MCP endpoints. Your customer’s own agent can interact with your account on their behalf.

Architect

The audit’s job is to tell you which tier you are at, which tier you should target given your commercial model, and the named next steps to get there. If the answer is “you do not need this”, we tell you that too.

Proof

We ran it on ourselves first.

Before we sold the AI-Ready Audit and Sprint as productised SKUs, we ran the entire specification on our own site. Independent re-scan link below.

Before

23 / 100

Cloudflare AI-Ready audit, 2026-05-10 morning — baseline scan, no agent-readiness layer in place.

After two weeks

85+ / 100

Same scan after Phase 21 lift. Thirteen of thirteen applicable checks pass. Same scan endpoint, same time of day.

How it runs

Five working days. Fixed price. Fixed scope.

No estimating, no surprise invoices. The audit follows the same five-day cadence on every commission.

  • Day 0 — book and brief. Thirty-minute briefing call. You confirm scope. We collect site access.
  • Days 1–2 — automated scan plus manual review. Thirteen agent-readiness checks, Schema.org coverage scan across fifteen entity types, three-competitor comparator.
  • Day 3 — capability and citation surface review. What does your site actually tell an AI you do, and what can it quote.
  • Day 4 — draft action list. Twenty pages, red-amber-green, named-owner per item.
  • Day 5 — delivery and 45-minute walk-through call. You leave with the document and a recording.

If we find your site is already Tier 2 or above, we tell you that. The audit is not a setup for a sprint sell — sometimes the right answer is “you do not need this work”.

FAQ

Six questions we hear most.

What does the audit actually cover?

Thirteen applicable agent-readiness checks, Schema.org coverage across fifteen entity types, well-known endpoints, Link response headers, capability disclosure, citation surface, robots and Content-Signal directives, and Markdown negotiation. The deliverable is a 20-page action list with red-amber-green per category and named-owner next steps.

How long does it take?

Five working days from briefing call to delivered action list. Most audits start within 48 hours of payment.

Does the audit fee credit against the sprint?

Yes. If you commission the £3,000 fixed two-week AI-Ready Site Sprint within 30 days of audit delivery, the £750 audit fee credits in full against the sprint.

Is the audit useful if I have no internal SEO team?

Yes. The action list is written for an operator, not an SEO specialist. Each item names the owner, the fix, and the verification step. A junior developer or a virtual assistant can ship most of it.

How is this different from a Lighthouse or Core Web Vitals scan?

Lighthouse measures user-experience performance and traditional SEO. The AI-Ready Audit measures whether an AI agent can find, parse, cite, and recommend your site. Different surface, different signals, different tests. The two complement each other — most sprint engagements include a Lighthouse pass alongside.

What does an AI agent actually do on my site?

It reads your structured data, follows Link headers to well-known endpoints, queries any Markdown representation, parses your Schema.org graph for organisation, services, FAQs, reviews, and authors, and decides whether you are a credible citation candidate when a user asks a relevant question. If it cannot do those things on your site, you are not in the answer.
