Agent Signal: AI-Readiness Technical Checklist
About this resource
You can have perfect content and a strong brand. But if AI crawlers can't access your site, none of it matters.
Most businesses assume that if their site loads in a browser, it's accessible to AI. This is often wrong. Client-side JavaScript rendering can show AI crawlers a blank page. A single line in your robots.txt can block ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude from ever seeing your content.
Agent Signal is the technical infrastructure that determines whether AI systems can access, crawl, parse, and understand your website. It's the most binary of the 7 signals: either AI can access your content, or it can't.
This checklist covers all 5 components of Agent Signal. Most items take less than 5 minutes to check. The entire checklist takes about 15 minutes, and you'll know exactly where your site stands.
