About

Founder-led. UK-based.
Quietly thorough.

I started AgentReady UK because I kept watching small businesses get sold AI promises they had no way to check. Owners were being told that the right newsletter prompt would change everything, or that some new tool would put them at the top of Google by Friday.

The reality is calmer. Most of the work is the unglamorous kind: getting the basics right, making the information about your business consistent, telling the truth on your home page, and using AI tools with a human in the loop.

The AgentReady Review is what I wish more businesses were offered: a careful second pair of eyes, a clear score, and a plain-English report with the five things to fix first. No pitch attached.

Our method

Six things, in order.

01
Read your business as a stranger would.
We start on your home page with no prior knowledge — exactly how most new customers and most AI tools meet you.
02
Check that the public information about you agrees with itself.
Your website, your Google listing, your social pages: they should tell the same story.
03
Look for the quiet signals of trust.
Named people, real photos, honest pricing, sensible policies.
04
See whether you're easy to read for search engines and AI.
Plain titles, clear structure, descriptive text — the basics.
05
Walk the customer journey end to end.
From first click to first contact, noting any moment a sensible person would give up.
06
Check how AI is being used in your business, if at all.
And whether it's being used safely, with human approval.

Principles

What we will not bend on.

Human approval first.: A person reads everything before it leaves us, and we recommend the same inside your business.
Plain English only.: If you'd need a dictionary, we've written it badly. We rewrite it.
No false claims.: We will not invent results, certifications, badges or testimonials.
No ranking promises.: We don't control Google. We help you deserve to be found.
Safe AI use.: Private information stays out of public tools. Always.
Practical fixes, in priority order.: Five things to do first, not fifty to feel overwhelmed by.
