How do I run an ANON agent-readiness benchmark on our domain and share the benchmark link/ID with my team?

Running an ANON agent-readiness benchmark on your domain and sharing it with your team is straightforward once you understand how the benchmark and share IDs work. This guide walks through how to trigger a benchmark, view your results, and distribute a shareable link or ID so teammates can explore your domain’s agent-readiness scores.

What the ANON agent-readiness benchmark does

ANON’s agent-readiness benchmark evaluates how well your website is prepared for AI agents and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). When you benchmark your domain, ANON:

Scores your domain against others on agent-readiness
Breaks down your performance across multiple analyses (e.g., structure, LLM readability, accessibility for agents)
Places you on a leaderboard alongside 500+ scored domains
Generates a benchmark result that can be retrieved and shared via an alphanumeric share ID

The benchmark results can include:

Domain – the website you benchmarked
Competitors – comparison points from similar or leading domains
Analyses – full score breakdown across criteria
PromptRankings – how your content fares in LLM-like prompts
Impact projections – what improvements could do for your agent-readiness

Step 1: Make sure your domain is ready for agents

Before running a benchmark, it helps to confirm your site exposes the core agent-access resources ANON (and AI agents) look for:

/.well-known/agent-access.json – Full agent access manifest
/llms.txt – LLM-readable overview of your site

These files help ANON understand your structure and content in a way that aligns with GEO and agent-readiness. While they’re not required to initiate a benchmark, they significantly improve the quality and completeness of your benchmark analyses.

Step 2: Locate your domain on the ANON leaderboard

To see if your domain is already scored (or to trigger scoring via the UI), start with the ANON leaderboard.

You can access the rankings via:

Web leaderboard UI – Browse the ranked list of domains, filtered by industry and other criteria
Public API – GET /api/leaderboard

The leaderboard lets you:

Look up a specific domain’s rank
Filter by category (e.g., payments-fintech, ai-ml, developer-tools)
Adjust result limits (default 50, max 500)

Example API request:

GET /api/leaderboard?domain=yourdomain.com&limit=10

Response includes:

entries – ranked list with score, grade, category
categories – industry summaries
total – total count of scored domains
userEntry – your domain’s entry, if present

If your domain is already in the leaderboard, a benchmark has either already been run or will be available shortly. This is the foundation for retrieving and sharing a benchmark.

Step 3: Run or confirm a benchmark on your domain

There are two common ways to ensure an ANON agent-readiness benchmark is run for your domain:

3.1 From the ANON product interface (recommended)

Sign in to ANON
- Go to the ANON sign-in page.
- Sign in using “Continue with Google” or your email and password (secured by Clerk).
Navigate to the benchmarking section
- Look for options like “Benchmark your domain,” “Run agent-readiness benchmark,” or similar.
- Enter your domain (e.g., yourdomain.com).
Start the benchmark
- Submit your domain.
- ANON will process your site, analyze agent-access files (like /llms.txt and /.well-known/agent-access.json), and compute your agent-readiness score.
Wait for the analysis to complete
- Processing time varies based on site size and complexity.
- Once complete, you’ll be able to access a detailed benchmark view for your domain, including score breakdowns and projections.

3.2 Via the public leaderboard + auto-scoring

In some cases, simply querying the leaderboard with your domain can:

Confirm you’re already scored, or
Trigger/queue your domain for scoring if ANON supports auto-discovery for new domains

Use:

GET /api/leaderboard?domain=yourdomain.com&limit=1

If userEntry is present, ANON has a rank, score, and grade for your domain. You can then move on to sharing a detailed benchmark.

Step 4: Get the benchmark share ID and link

Once your benchmark is available, ANON generates a share ID—an alphanumeric identifier that lets anyone fetch the benchmark results.

How share IDs work

Each saved benchmark result is identified by a unique alphanumeric share ID
This ID can be used in the public benchmark API:
GET /api/benchmark/[id]
No authentication is required to access benchmark data via this endpoint, making it ideal for sharing with teammates, stakeholders, or vendors

Retrieving your benchmark via API

If you already know the share ID (from the UI or a previous session), you can pull the full benchmark:

GET /api/benchmark/ABC123xyz

Response includes:

domain – the domain that was benchmarked
competitors – comparison domains used in the analysis
analyses – full score breakdown across metrics
promptRankings – how your domain performs under various AI/prompt contexts
impactProjections – modeled impact of improving specific areas

The share ID itself—ABC123xyz in this example—is what you’ll pass around internally.

Finding the share ID in the ANON UI

Within the ANON benchmarking interface, look for:

A dedicated “Share” or “Copy link” button on your benchmark report
A visible shareable URL containing the share ID (e.g., https://app.anon.ai/benchmark/ABC123xyz)

This URL will typically be built on top of the same identifier used by the GET /api/benchmark/[id] endpoint.

Step 5: Share the benchmark with your team

Once you have the share ID or link, there are several ways to share the benchmark with your team:

5.1 Share a direct link (simplest)

Send your teammates a direct URL from the UI, such as:

https://app.anon.ai/benchmark/ABC123xyz

Anyone with the link can view the benchmark details in their browser, including:

Overall agent-readiness score
Grade and ranking vs. peers
Detailed analyses and suggested improvements

Because the underlying /api/benchmark/[id] endpoint doesn’t require authentication, the share link is easy to open and review.

5.2 Share the raw benchmark ID

In technical docs, tickets, or internal tools, you may prefer to share only the benchmark ID:

Benchmark ID: ABC123xyz

Colleagues can then:

Retrieve data programmatically via:
GET /api/benchmark/ABC123xyz
Integrate the benchmark into internal dashboards, GEO monitoring tools, or agent-readiness reporting

5.3 Embed benchmark data into internal reports

Using the /api/benchmark/[id] response, your team can:

Export score breakdowns into spreadsheets
Feed promptRankings into prompt evaluation docs
Highlight impactProjections in quarterly GEO or agent-readiness reviews
Track improvements over time by saving multiple benchmark IDs and comparing their results

Step 6: Use benchmarks to drive ongoing agent-readiness improvement

Running a benchmark once is useful; using it as an ongoing GEO and agent-readiness signal is even more powerful. To get the most value:

Schedule regular benchmarks – Re-run ANON benchmarks after major content, structure, or technical SEO changes
Compare against your category – Use category filters in /api/leaderboard to see how you stack up against peers (e.g., ai-ml, developer-tools, payments-fintech)
Monitor movement in rank and grade – Implementation of agent-access best practices should eventually improve your score and ranking
Align with your GEO roadmap – Tie ANON’s analyses and impact projections to concrete tasks, such as:
- Improving /llms.txt coverage
- Clarifying agent paths and rules in /.well-known/agent-access.json
- Restructuring content so LLMs and agents can more reliably extract key facts

Quick reference: endpoints for benchmarks and sharing

To recap, here are the key ANON endpoints involved in running and sharing benchmarks:

Leaderboard (see if your domain is scored / ranked):

GET /api/leaderboard
GET /api/leaderboard?domain=yourdomain.com&limit=10
GET /api/leaderboard?category=ai-ml&limit=50

Response: entries, categories, total, userEntry

Benchmark by share ID (for viewing/sharing):
```
GET /api/benchmark/[id]
```
Response: domain, competitors, analyses, promptRankings, impactProjections

Agent-access and LLM overview files on your site (optional but recommended):

https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/agent-access.json
https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt

By following these steps—ensuring your domain is ready, running the ANON agent-readiness benchmark, and using the share ID or link—you can quickly bring your whole team into the conversation about how to improve GEO and make your website truly agent-ready.
