Agent readiness report

fluent-consultants.com

What an AI agent can and cannot do on this site, measured by an unauthenticated crawl and scored against the published rubric.

Scanned 2026-09-06 · rubric v1.0.1 · scored as a content site · re-scan (results are cached for seven days)

What to fix first

Ranked by impact first, then by how cheap the fix is — the same ordering the engine uses.

1C1
Form usability
High impact · Medium effort
Fix: 2 input(s) use the wrong type for their content. A placeholder is not a label — an agent filling your form has no way to know what an unlabelled field wants.
2C4
Machine endpoints and agent manifests
High impact · High effort
No machine-readable endpoint of any kind. Most sites score zero here, which is exactly why it is the cheapest differentiation on this rubric: an agents.json is a static file, and a documented read-only API is usually a subset of something you already run.
3D3
Policies discoverable
Medium impact · Low effort
Fix: no privacy policy linked; no terms page linked.
4A5
Bot user-agent HTTP health
Medium impact · Low effort
Your robots.txt welcomes these agents, but GPTBot received 403, ClaudeBot received 403, PerplexityBot received 403 — the block is happening at your CDN or WAF, before robots.txt is ever read. Cloudflare in particular blocks AI crawlers by default on every plan. One setting change, and it is invisible until someone tests it.
5D2
Verifiable identity
Medium impact · Low effort
Fix: Organization schema has no sameAs links. sameAs links to a company profile are how a model corroborates that you are who the page says you are.

Every check, with the evidence

No hard interstitial
0/2
Detected: CAPTCHA. An agent cannot dismiss a consent dialog or solve a challenge — whatever sits behind it is unreachable. Cookieless analytics removes the need for a banner entirely.

Semantic HTML structure

1/4

Headings and landmarks are how a machine builds an outline of the page. One h1, no skipped levels, and real main/nav/footer elements — all template-level fixes, applied once.

What we captured

  "problems": [
    "https://fluent-consultants.com: missing main",
    "https://fluent-consultants.com/contact-us/: missing main",

2/3

Fix: 4 page(s) missing og:title, og:description or og:image.

What we captured

{
  "goodTitles": 4,
  "pagesCrawled": 4,
  "uniqueTitles": true,
  "goodDescriptions": 4,
  "completeOpenGraph": 0
}

B5Partial
Clean text ratio
2/3
Visible text is 7.7% of your markup. Deeply nested wrapper elements make a page expensive to parse and dilute the content an agent extracts. Script and style contents are already excluded from this measure, so this is markup weight, not framework overhead.
What we captured
```
{
  "perPage": [
    0.083,
    0.052,
    0.094,
    0.078
  ],
  "averageRatio": 0.077
}
```
B6Fail
Alt text coverage
0/2
15 of 27 content images have no alt text. An agent cannot see the image; the alt attribute is the only description it gets.
What we captured
```
{
  "withAlt": 12,
  "coverage": 0.44,
  "contentImages": 27
}
```

Form usability
4.89/6.11
Fix: 2 input(s) use the wrong type for their content. A placeholder is not a label — an agent filling your form has no way to know what an unlabelled field wants.

No machine-readable endpoint of any kind. Most sites score zero here, which is exactly why it is the cheapest differentiation on this rubric: an agents.json is a static file, and a documented read-only API is usually a subset of something you already run.
What we captured
```

C5Not applicable
Commerce actionability
0/4
Not a commerce site; these points are redistributed across C1–C4.
What we captured
```
{
  "siteType": "content"
}
```
C6Partial
On-site search
2/3
Search exists but posts rather than using a GET query parameter, so an agent cannot construct a results URL directly. Switching to GET is usually a one-line change, and advertising it via WebSite SearchAction schema makes it discoverable.
What we captured
```
{
  "usesGet": false,
  "searchForm": false,
  "searchAction": true
}
```
