Agent-Ready Foundation
Make your business easier for AI to understand.
When people ask an AI assistant about a service, your business needs clear, accurate information that the system can use. We give your existing website a public directory of what you do, where you work and how someone can contact you.
A practical upgrade built on the read-only foundation already running on Local Forge’s own website.
Discuss My UpgradeHow the foundation works
Think of it as a clear business directory attached to your website. It helps systems read approved information while customers continue through your existing inquiry process.
01 · Confirm
Your approved business facts
We review your services, service areas and public contact options with you, so the directory describes the business you actually run.
02 · Publish
A directory AI can read
Your website publishes a clear, read-only source. An AI system can request it when that platform chooses to access your site.
03 · Connect
Your existing inquiry paths
The information points people toward your existing phone, contact form or booking page. Your current lead process stays in place.
Public information. Your existing workflow.
Only approved public business information goes into the directory. We preserve your lead forms, booking platform, private reports and customer systems, and check that the discovery endpoints reject write requests.
Automated booking, payments and CRM updates are outside this package. They need a separately approved, tested workflow.
Measure real interest, then improve.
We hand off a plan to review discovery requests and identifiable AI referrals where data is available, alongside qualified calls and inquiries. Catalog traffic alone is not a lead.
Routine public-information updates are handled through an existing Local Forge website-care or managed-system plan, within its agreed scope. No separate recurring foundation fee is required. Standalone updates are quoted separately.
AI platforms control source selection and recommendations. Installation does not guarantee rankings, AI placement, traffic or revenue. Ongoing SEO, content work and reporting are scoped separately.
