Last reviewed: 2026-11-04 # The one-hour audit a leader can do alone ## In short You can audit your own site in an hour with a browser. Read robots.txt, run two free scanners, look at your home page with scripts off, check what your platform admin switched on for agents and walk the main task as a guest. Write down each wall you hit and send the list to your web team. ## The hour, step by step 1. Minutes 0 to 10. Add /robots.txt to your domain and read it. Look for lines that name AI bots with Disallow, and a line that disallows everything for every bot. 2. Minutes 10 to 25. Run two free public scanners on your home page and on one product, booking or pricing page. Note the failed checks, not the totals. 3. Minutes 25 to 35. Open your home page with scripts switched off in your browser settings, or ask the browser to show the page source. If the prices and the main text are missing, an agent that does not run scripts sees the same gap. 4. Minutes 35 to 45. Open your store or booking platform admin and look for sales channels, agent or AI settings. Write down what is on and the date it was switched on. 5. Minutes 45 to 60. Walk the main task as a guest. Note every step that needs a phone call, a CAPTCHA, a mouse-only widget or an account. Send the list of walls to your web team with the sentences from [ask your web team](https://amireadyforagents.com/ask-your-web-team). Do not try to fix anything in the hour. ## What the evidence says Walk a non-technical leader through checks they can run in a browser in under an hour. - 4 Nov 2026 Ora's scan is free, with no key, card or signup, and rate-limited by IP (read 4 Nov 2026).
