From ranking to recommended: get your site ready to thrive in the age of AI agents
Cloudflare has integrated Agent Readiness and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) tools into its dashboard. These tools help website owners ensure AI agents can access their sites and track if AI assistants recommend their services.
Why it matters
As AI assistants increasingly replace traditional search engines, businesses risk losing customers if agents cannot read their sites or recommend them. These tools allow owners to identify and fix visibility gaps to prevent losing sales to competitors.
The details
- Diagnostics scans site elements like robots.txt and sitemaps for agent accessibility.
- AEO metrics include Citation Rate, Prominence, Mention Rate, and Share of Voice.
- AI Operator Activity tracks crawl and referral traffic from providers like OpenAI.
