Agent experience (AX)
In short
Agent experience (AX) names the whole job: whether an agent can find, read, act on, pay and trust your business. AEO versus agent experience goes into the detail. The neighbouring terms are AEO (answer engine optimization) and Agent readiness. Ora's October 2026 report frames AX as whether the buyer's agent can find, read and check your site itself.
