I help complex B2B companies prepare their website, expertise, and conversion processes for AI agents.

When I say I help complex B2B companies prepare their website, expertise, and conversion processes for AI agents, I mean three specific pieces of work.
Your website is what an agent reads first. Structure, semantic HTML, machine-readable facts, structured data. If an agent can't find your pages or understand what you do, nothing downstream matters.
Your expertise is what an agent decides to trust. The certifications, credentials, people, and proof that win you deals in person are usually locked in someone's head or in PDFs where no machine can read them. We just scanned eleven industrial and consulting sites: not one published a single machine-readable credential. The proof exists — it just isn't written down where the new buyer looks.
Your conversion processes are what an agent tries to use. The RFQ form, the quote request, the RFP intake flow — the moment a buyer's assistant stops researching and tries to act. Most were built assuming a human is filling in the boxes, and they fail silently when one isn't.
It can look like writing everything down twice — once for people, once for machines. It isn't. It's the same work, done once and done right, that gets you found, understood, trusted, and used by every visitor you have — human or agent. That's what drives your business.
I'm uniquely qualified to help with this because for nearly three decades, I've been the person companies call when the structure of the website itself is the problem.
Not the copy. Not the campaign. The foundation underneath.
I've cleaned out the attic and the basement of websites for enterprise B2B companies, global SaaS platforms, insurance groups, and lead generation networks.
Every one of those projects had the same shape: something fundamental about the website has to change, and if you get the structure wrong, everything built on top of it breaks.
The agentic web is that same shape of problem, one level up. This time the structure that has to change isn't just your website. It's how your expertise and your sales process show up to a machine.
Now the entire web is facing the biggest structural shift I've seen in my career. AI agents have become a primary surface for discovery. They read websites differently than people do, and they'll act on websites differently too.
The companies that figure out how to communicate clearly, completely, and consistently to AI agents will own the next decade of discovery. The ones that don't will watch their visibility erode and never quite know why.
I'm here to help clients lay the foundations they'll need to survive and thrive in this new agentic web. No one can know yet what it will fully become. But I couldn't be more excited to be part of the transition.
I use a four-layer framework to diagnose websites for the agentic web. Each layer asks a different question, and each one can stop an AI agent cold on its own.
The infrastructure layer: robots.txt directives, CDN bot rules, JavaScript rendering, structured data access. If AI can't read your site, nothing else matters.
Read the FIND layer →The content layer: entity clarity, semantic HTML, schema markup, fact-over-vibe content. If AI can read you but can't interpret you, it fills the gaps with assumptions.
Read the UNDERSTAND layer →The authority layer: consistent entity signals across the open web, corroborating sources, fresh and definitive content. If AI doesn't trust you, it cites someone else.
Read the TRUST layer →The capability layer: agent-actionable surfaces, /.well-known/ endpoints, MCP servers, A2A and payments protocols. If AI can find, understand, and trust you but can't do anything with you, the deal goes to the company whose website knows how to negotiate.
Read the USE layer →Twenty-eight years of SEO and content strategy for enterprise B2B, SaaS, insurance, and industrial companies, including big firms like Dun & Bradstreet and W.W. Grainger and regional or specialized firms like Nassco, Inc. and Elsco Transformers. I've delivered the migrations, replatforms, and restructures at the scale where getting it wrong breaks things publicly. The full history is on LinkedIn.

Four ways to work with me, each designed for a different point in the transition.
A two-minute diagnostic that shows you exactly what four major AI platforms say about your business right now: the facts, the gaps, and the made-up parts. Email-gated, no sales pitch.
A diagnostic across the four layers of the framework: can AI find you, can it understand you, can it trust you, and can it do anything with you. Delivered as an interactive HTML report plus a PDF executive summary.
The implementation blueprint that follows the audit. Page template inventory, schema type mapping, semantic HTML blueprints, content structure recommendations. We deliver the plan; your team or agency executes.
The done-for-you build. We create the machine-readable files an AI agent needs to act on your site: discover what you offer, understand your real specs, and submit a valid quote request, all published to the new Agentic Resource Discovery standard. You own every file.
P.S. I started my professional life as a writer. As a writer, I tolerate the Oxford comma. I appreciate a suspenseful ellipsis, but… I love — really love — a well-placed em dash.
The transition to an agentic-first web has begun. If your business depends on being found, understood, trusted — and now, used — the structural work starts now.
