LumenAgent readiness · free check

Your buyer asks an agent first. Does it name you?

Buyers shortlist with AI before they reach your site. Lumen scores whether agents can find, read and trust your page — and, on Monitoring, who gets named when they don't.

Why now

The shortlist is being written without you.

Buyers used to open ten tabs. Now they ask a model and read one answer. That answer names a few vendors and moves on.

Which names it picks depends on what the model can find, read and trust on your site — decided before anyone types your URL into anything. Nothing in your analytics shows the shortlist you weren't on.

01 · The readiness score

Seven checks. One agent readiness score.

Each check is something an agent does before it decides you're worth recommending. The score is the same one every PlayHero scan carries as its agent half — this page just shows the checks behind it.

LLMSpass· strong

Can agents find you?

Read by some crawlers, ignored by most. We check it — we don't lean on it.

SCHEMA

Do they know what you are?

Who you are and what you sell, in a form a model parses without guessing.

pass
SAwarn· missing

Can they tell you ship a product?

SoftwareApplication schema so an agent can classify the product, not just the company.

CITE

Can they quote you?

Self-contained blocks a model can lift into an answer with the claim intact.

pass· 23 blocks
OG

How do you show up when cited?

How you show up when a model cites you.

pass
CRAWL

Are agents allowed in?

Whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and thirteen others are allowed in — or blocked by an old rule nobody remembers.

pass
ALT

Can they read what you show?

Alt text and imagery a model can read, not just see.

Also measured

Three more things we read. No bar of their own.

  • Snippet access controls · Counts toward the score. No bar, because it's a rule about what may be quoted, not a thing we can show you.
  • Content freshness · Counts toward the score. Models discount pages that look abandoned.
  • Framing accuracy · Not in the free score. Measured weekly on Monitoring: does AI describe you the way you would?

Coming · Rendered content — is your copy in the HTML an agent fetches, or only after your scripts run? Measured now, scored when we've seen enough pages.

02 · The battleground

See who gets the shortlist instead of you.

When a model doesn't name you, it names someone. On Monitoring, Lumen asks the questions your buyers ask across 5 platforms every week, records who comes back, and tells you why it wasn't you.

03 · When you drop off the list

Losing the shortlist is a pipeline incident.

Nothing on your dashboard tells you the models stopped naming you. Lumen does: flagged, prioritized, fixed by a person, verified by the next run.

01 · Incident

Zero citations on a buyer query.

You weren't named at all on a query your buyers ask. Flagged critical — to an AI-referred buyer, you're down.

The one fix, as a decision.

Schema, framing, access or content — the specific change with its evidence. Keep it, fix it, or hand it to engineering. Nothing executes without a person.

The specimen on this page is ours.

The card at the top is this page, scanned by PlayHero on 2026-10-30 under Monitoring — not a demo account and not an illustration. Agent readiness came back 92 against a benchmark of 73. Lumen findings stay on this receipt when they exist.

Questions

What Lumen measures — and doesn't.

Straight answers, the same ones an AI agent gets when it reads this page.

Which AI platforms does Lumen check?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and Claude. Agent readiness is scored from what they can read; on Brand and Agency, Lumen also asks them your buyers' questions every week and records whether they name you.

Does a high readiness score mean I'm being cited?

No. Readiness is whether a model can use your page. Being named is whether it does — and the second is only measured on Monitoring, by asking. This page's own score shows the gap: readable, not yet cited.

What's a query, a run, a sweep?

A query is what a buyer types. A run is one query on one platform. A sweep is the weekly pass across all 10 queries and 5 platforms — 50 runs per site.

Do I need an llms.txt file?

It's one check of seven, graded on quality when present. Some crawlers read it, most ignore it. We check it and never make it the reason for a score.

Do you need access to my analytics or CRM?

No. Lumen reads the published URL and asks the platforms directly. Connect nothing; paste a URL.

Does Lumen change my site?

Never on its own. A finding becomes a Rallycard that waits for a person to approve, assign or dismiss it. The next run records whether the fix held.

Find out before your buyers do.

One URL. Seven checks. A fix list for this week.
