# What to measure

## In short

Decide which numbers tell you whether agents can find, read and finish tasks on your site, separate from how often AI answers mention you. Track two lines: whether an agent completes your main task, and whether AI answers name you. A tool that measures one does not measure the other.

## The decision

Decide which numbers tell you whether agents can find, read and finish tasks on your site, separate from how often AI answers mention you.

Who decides: The head of digital or analytics.

## The options

1.  **Measure agent completion on your main tasks**Run a scanner and an agent journey on the same task each month; Ora Journey and similar tools record each step. [Ora home page](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=amireadyforagents.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=decision), read 4 Nov 2026.
2.  **Measure AI answer mentions only**AEO tracking tools re-run prompts and report trends; useful, but it does not show whether an agent could finish a booking. [Scrunch pricing](https://scrunch.com/pricing), read 4 Nov 2026.
3.  **Measure AI traffic in CDN logs**Shows who visits and how often; Cloudflare reports AI agent requests grew more than 1,700 percent in a year. [Cloudflare: The Internet has a second audience (30 Sep 2026)](https://blog.cloudflare.com/agentic-web/), read 4 Nov 2026.

## What we found

-   8 Oct 2026
    
    Ora's lab found (8 Oct 2026) that only 56 percent of runs on sites that were not agent ready ended with an answer grounded in the business, against 78 percent on agent-ready sites.

## How to decide

-   Pick the main task and run a scanner and an agent journey on it each month. Ora's scan is free and its Journey test sends a real agent through a task; the [KPI page](https://amireadyforagents.com/agent-readiness-kpis-for-leaders) sets out the four numbers and who owns each.
-   Keep mentions in AI answers as a second line with its own owner and its own tool.
-   Read CDN logs for who visits and how often. Volume tells you who is coming, not whether they finished.

## Where this shows up

-   [Self-check question 18](https://amireadyforagents.com/self-check#q18)Is there a named person in your business who owns how AI agents are treated on your site?
-   [The local business guide](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/local)Google calling stores, searching reservation platforms and pointing customers to the provider.
-   [The software guide](https://amireadyforagents.com/for/saas)Agents that read docs and pricing, sign up for trials and open paid accounts.
