The answer: most sites are agent-ready, but there is one critical breaking point.<\/p>\n<p>Agents don\u2019t read websites like humans. They receive a task, search the web, fetch pages, extract facts, and cite the sources they used. A page can persuade a human and still fail an agent if the facts are hard to find (opacity), hard to fetch (machine-readability), or hard to cite (access friction).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>AI agents turn websites from showrooms into barcodes.<\/p>\n<p>How we looked at agent behavior:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The agent had to find the official site itself. We did not provide starting links, eg to homepages.<\/li>\n<li>We gave agents three buyer-related tasks for 100 B2B products: find pricing\/features, integrations, and security\/compliance. We ran each task five times to measure the impact of the probabilistic nature of LLMs.<\/li>\n<li>We weren\u2019t comparing whether or not the information existed somewhere on the web; instead, we measured whether the agent could reliably answer from the vendor\u2019s own site.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/about:blank\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" style=\"border: 0; background: transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-rocket-lazyload=\"fitvidscompatible\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.growth-memo.com\/embed?transparent=1\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growth-memo.com\/embed?transparent=1\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" style=\"border: 0; background: transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pricing-breaks-firstparty-sites\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Pricing_breaks_first-party_sites\"><\/span>1.

They appeared in only 7% of all runs. In pricing runs, access errors pushed third-party fallback to 77%, compared to 17% without access errors.<\/p>\n<p>The impact of errors on agent run cost (tokens, web searches, fetches, retrieves, time) is significant when comparing the 90th with the 10th percentile in our study:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> 4.4x<\/li>\n<li><strong>Token:<\/strong> 4.7x<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time:<\/strong> 2.0x<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Brands don\u2019t pay that bill directly, but it is a useful proxy for friction. The harder your site is to retrieve, the more work an agent has to do before it can answer from your page.

indicates the reason the agent failed to obtain on-site \/ first-party pricing information.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-your-site-agentproof\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_How_to_make_your_site_agent-proof\"><\/span>5. How to make your site agent-proof<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An agent-proof pricing page is how you keep the agent quoting you instead of a directory like Vendr. The fixes map to the three failure modes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclose the fact (opacity)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Publish real prices in text for every self-serve tier. If a tier is genuinely custom, say what drives the number instead of \u201ccontact sales.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Keep plan names, prices, limits, and features on one canonical pricing URL, and point every other mention back to it.<\/li>\n<li>Mark legacy plans clearly so third-party content can\u2019t keep stale tiers alive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Make the fact extractable (machine-readability)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Put prices in crawlable HTML. Many agent fetches never run JavaScript, so a price rendered client-side is invisible. In testing, prices in server HTML got read in under a second; a JavaScript-only price got missed.<\/li>\n<li>Add schema.org Product and Offer markup with price and priceCurrency. This single lever moved a page from 73 to 93 in the readiness test.<\/li>\n<li>Explain usage-based pricing in text, not a calculator-only widget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Let the agent in (access friction)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow AI crawlers in robots.txt (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended). Check you aren\u2019t allowing Googlebot while blocking them.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t block server-side AI fetches on pricing pages. Access errors hit only 7% of runs, but they push fallback from 17% to 77% when they do.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the price early in the DOM and the page light. A 1 MB pricing page taxes every agent and pushes cheap runs to route around you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fix opacity and machine-readability first; they drive most of the fallback. Then run the query yourself, \u201cFind all pricing and features for [product],\u201d and measure it with the skill below.<\/p>\n<p><em>This post first appeared on the author\u2019s website and is republished here with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-display\">\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-content\">\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Topics_on_this_page\"><\/span>Topics on this page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-links\">Intelligent agentArtificial intelligenceHTMLLarge language modelRobots.txtBusiness-to-businessCapterraGoogleGooglebotJavaScriptPDFPricing strategySalesforceSchema.orgSearch engine optimizationWeb scrapingZendesk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-show-extra-button\">+12 more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
