Tool: AI Readiness Scan
In under 30 seconds, Faro runs 30+ checks across 6 categories, the same signals that ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and procurement agents use to decide whether to recommend you, skip you, or get you completely wrong.
The shift
When Google launched, businesses that adapted early (adding meta tags, building sitemaps, earning backlinks) pulled ahead of competitors who didn't. The window to act was short. Within a few years, SEO wasn't optional; it was the cost of being found online.
We're at the same inflection point with AI agents. ChatGPT now has over 200 million weekly active users. Perplexity is processing over 100 million queries per day. Claude, Gemini, and dozens of vertical AI agents are being embedded into procurement platforms, HR software, and CRM tools. These agents don't click through pages and read marketing copy. They crawl, parse, and evaluate, and they do it in milliseconds.
What they find, or fail to find, determines who they recommend. A company with clean structured data, an explicit llms.txt, transparent pricing, and open crawler permissions gets recommended. A company with a misconfigured robots.txt, no schema markup, and pricing hidden behind a "talk to sales" wall gets skipped. Neither company necessarily knew the difference was being evaluated.
The companies that understand this shift in 2025 will own the recommendations their competitors are still waiting to earn in 2028.
“By 2026, 30% of enterprise software buying decisions will involve an AI agent in the evaluation process.”
Gartner, 2024 Emerging Technology Report
What the scan checks
Each check targets a specific signal that AI agents use when evaluating your site. Together they produce a score from 0 to 100 and a letter grade: your AI readiness baseline.
Real-world examples
These are illustrative audits based on publicly observable signals, the same checks Faro runs on any domain. None of these companies are Faro customers.
The future
Within 18 months, the majority of B2B software evaluations will involve an AI agent at some stage. Already, tools like Claude Computer Use, OpenAI Operator, and emerging vertical agents are browsing the web, filling forms, comparing SaaS tools, and booking demos on behalf of human buyers who never open a browser.
This isn't science fiction. It's the logical extension of what LLMs already do. When someone asks ChatGPT which CRM to use, the model evaluates your site as part of that query. When a procurement agent is tasked with comparing payment providers, it visits your pricing page, reads your API docs, and checks whether you have the signals it needs to make a confident recommendation.
The companies that are AI-ready today will be default recommendations tomorrow. The ones that aren't will find themselves invisible to an entire generation of buyers: buyers who never typed a search query, never clicked an ad, and never read a blog post. They just asked their AI and trusted the answer.
Faro is the infrastructure layer for that transition. The scan is where it starts.
