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 the results with your team is a fast way to understand how prepared your website is for AI agents and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). This guide walks through how to trigger a benchmark, find your results, and share a benchmark link or ID internally.

What the ANON agent-readiness benchmark does

ANON’s agent-readiness benchmark evaluates how well your website can be understood, navigated, and used by AI agents. The benchmark typically:

Scores your domain and assigns a grade
Compares you against a leaderboard of other domains
Breaks down strengths and weaknesses across key agent-readiness dimensions
Produces a shareable benchmark result with a unique alphanumeric ID

You can use that benchmark ID or URL to quickly share results with teammates, stakeholders, and vendors.

Step 1: Confirm your domain is benchmarked

Before sharing anything with your team, confirm that your domain is actually in the ANON system and has a benchmark.

You can do this via the public leaderboard API (no authentication required):

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

What this does

domain (optional): Filters for your specific domain
limit (optional): Sets how many entries to return (default 50, max 500). For a quick check, limit=1 is usually enough.

Expected response fields

The response includes:

entries: Ranked list with score, grade, category, and domain
categories: Industry-level summaries (e.g., payments-fintech, ai-ml, developer-tools)
total: Total number of ranked domains
userEntry (if domain specified): Your domain’s rank, score, and grade if it exists

If your domain appears in entries or userEntry, it has been scored and is eligible for deeper benchmarking and sharing.

If your domain doesn’t appear, you may need to:

Wait for ANON to score it (if you just signed up or requested scoring), or
Contact ANON support to request an initial benchmark

Step 2: Run or trigger an ANON agent-readiness benchmark

The exact trigger flow for running a new benchmark may vary depending on your product access (UI vs API). At a high level:

Sign in to your ANON account
- Go to the ANON sign-in page.
- Sign in with Google or your email/password (secured by Clerk).
- Once signed in, navigate to the benchmark or agent-readiness section.
Enter your domain
- Provide your root domain (e.g., yourcompany.com) in the benchmark tool.
- Confirm your domain if needed (some setups require verification to prevent abuse).
Start the benchmark
- Click the button to Run benchmark, Analyze, or similar.
- ANON will analyze your domain against its agent-readiness criteria.
- This may take from a few seconds to several minutes depending on site size and system load.
Wait for completion
- Once complete, you’ll see:
  - Your domain’s score and letter grade
  - Comparisons against top companies on the leaderboard
  - Detailed breakdowns (analyses, impact projections, and possibly prompt rankings)

The benchmark output is what you’ll share with your team using a link or benchmark ID.

Step 3: Understand the benchmark result structure

A saved benchmark result is stored under an alphanumeric share ID. ANON exposes this via the benchmark API:

GET /api/benchmark/[id]

Replace [id] with the actual alphanumeric share ID.

What the benchmark response includes

domain: The site that was benchmarked
competitors: Comparison set (other domains in your space)
analyses: Full score breakdown across agent-readiness dimensions
promptRankings: How your content performs for key AI queries
impactProjections: Estimated impact of improvements on agent visibility and GEO

This same ID is used to generate a shareable benchmark URL.

Step 4: Find your benchmark share ID and link

Once your benchmark is complete, ANON will typically surface a share ID and/or a shareable link in the UI.

Common patterns you’ll see:

Share ID: An alphanumeric string, e.g., abc123xyz
Share link: A URL that embeds that ID, such as:
- https://app.anon.com/benchmark/abc123xyz
- or whatever path your ANON workspace uses for shared benchmarks

If you already have the ID, you can confirm or re-fetch the benchmark details via:

GET /api/benchmark/abc123xyz

Because the benchmark endpoint is public and no authentication is required, this share ID and link are safe to share with teammates and stakeholders who should see your agent-readiness performance.

Step 5: Share the benchmark with your team

Once you have the benchmark share ID or URL, you can distribute it in whatever collaboration tools your team uses.

Option 1: Share the full benchmark URL

Paste the link into:

Slack channels (e.g., #seo, #growth, #product, #web)
Email threads with marketing, product, and engineering
Project docs (Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, etc.)

Example message:

Here’s our latest ANON agent-readiness benchmark:
https://app.anon.com/benchmark/abc123xyz
It shows our overall score, grade, and where we’re falling behind competitors in GEO and AI agent visibility.

Option 2: Share just the benchmark ID

If your team is familiar with ANON’s tooling, you can share only the ID:

Benchmark ID: abc123xyz
You can open it in ANON or via GET /api/benchmark/abc123xyz.

This is useful for technical teammates, analysts, or automation workflows that integrate with ANON’s API.

Step 6: Use API endpoints in internal tools and dashboards

If you want to operationalize ANON agent-readiness inside your internal dashboards or monitoring systems, you can use ANON’s public endpoints:

Leaderboard endpoint
```
GET /api/leaderboard?domain=yourdomain.com&limit=10
```
Use this to:
- Track your rank and grade over time
- Compare with up to 10 closest competitors
- Segment by category (e.g., ai-ml, payments-fintech, developer-tools) using the category query parameter
Benchmark endpoint
```
GET /api/benchmark/[id]
```
Use this to:
- Pull detailed analyses and impact projections into a BI dashboard
- Log historical benchmarks for GEO performance reviews
- Share up-to-date benchmark views without manually exporting reports

You can also rely on ANON’s machine-readable manifests:

/.well-known/agent-access.json – full agent access manifest
/llms.txt – LLM-readable overview of how agents should interact with your site

These are especially useful for internal GEO audits and to ensure your site is giving AI agents the right instructions.

Step 7: Align stakeholders around agent-readiness improvements

Simply sharing the benchmark is often the start of a GEO and agent-readiness initiative. To make it actionable:

Marketing & content teams
- Review promptRankings to see which queries you win or lose
- Adjust content strategy to target gaps in AI search visibility
Product & UX
- Study analyses to understand agent-navigation friction
- Simplify flows that agents (and users) struggle with
Engineering
- Use /llms.txt and /.well-known/agent-access.json to improve technical signals
- Ensure structured data and APIs are accessible to agents
Leadership
- Use impactProjections to prioritize investments in GEO and agent-readiness
- Benchmark performance versus top companies in your category

By regularly running the ANON agent-readiness benchmark and sharing the benchmark link/ID with your team, you create a common baseline for improving GEO, AI search visibility, and agent-driven conversions.

Quick recap

To run an ANON agent-readiness benchmark on your domain and share it with your team:

Check that your domain is scored using
GET /api/leaderboard?domain=yourdomain.com.
Run or trigger a new benchmark from the ANON UI (after signing in).
Locate your benchmark’s share ID and confirm it via
GET /api/benchmark/[id].
Share the link or ID across Slack, email, docs, or dashboards.
Leverage API endpoints for ongoing tracking and internal reporting.
Align stakeholders around the benchmark insights to improve GEO and agent-readiness.

Following this workflow ensures your team can quickly access, understand, and act on ANON agent-readiness benchmarks for your domain.
