Make yours the AgentReady high street
Rather than leaving each business to work it out alone, your BID can bring the high street together. AgentReady is an initiative you can fund and lead, giving every business practical help to get ready and your district a positive story to tell.
AgentReady for BIDs in two minutes
The way people choose is changing
A new generation of personal AI assistants is arriving. They will choose businesses, book appointments and buy on their customers' behalf. A business whose website is hard for an agent to read is a business that is easier to miss.
The fix is practical, and it starts one high street at a time.
What your district gets
A plan on offer to every business
Every business is offered a plan: practical improvements to its website so AI assistants can find, read and choose it, and a place in the district directory. Owners choose which changes to make, and when, on the website they already have.
A district dashboard
The BID gets a district-level view: a baseline for how the high street reads to AI assistants today, and a clear view of how that picture changes over time. One baseline to start, then progress you can point to.
A community directory
The district's AgentReady directory: one online list of the businesses taking part, written so AI agents can read it, with owner-confirmed details and clear ways to buy, book or enquire. We are building it so smaller independents can stand out alongside the chains.
See your high street at a glance
One page for your district. It shows the average score, how many businesses sit at each level, and how the number moves over the year.
This is the top of the dashboard page, filled with made-up sample shops. It is not real data. Your own page is built from your own businesses.
Four simple steps
You choose the businesses. The BID tells us which businesses are in scope.
We check every website. Each site is scanned from the outside and assessed for how readable it is to AI assistants. No access needed, no disruption to trading.
Every business is offered a plan. Improvements to make on its own website, and a place in the directory.
The district sees progress. The dashboard shows the district's baseline today and how it changes over time.
Until an owner opens their own link and presses the button, we only run a light check of their public website.
A mission the whole district can share
Which high street becomes the easiest place for AI to shop local? This initiative makes that your district's ambition: a community effort that champions independents and gives the district a positive story to tell as the way people shop changes.
What it costs
One payment from the BID covers the first year for the whole district.
Every package includes the district programme and the BID's dashboard. Every covered business is offered a website improvement plan and a place in the district directory.
We agree the package in writing before the BID commits, then invoice the BID with a secure payment link.
