# How to make your SaaS discoverable by AI agents

Agents need **machine-readable** signals—not just a polished marketing site. This guide is for B2B SaaS, developer tools, and product-led companies.

## 1. Pick the right mental model

| You are… | Suggested site type on submit | Focus |
|----------|------------------------------|--------|
| Marketing + blog | `content` | robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt, markdown negotiation |
| Product + API docs | `product` | + API catalog, ARD, auth.md |
| MCP / agent-first | `agent_native` | Full discovery stack (MCP card, skills, OAuth) |
| Online store | `commerce` | + UCP at `/.well-known/ucp` — see [COMMERCE-PROTOCOLS.md](/COMMERCE-PROTOCOLS.md) |

AI Agent Pages scores you against the profile you choose so you are not penalized for checks that do not apply.

## 2. Core files (start here)

1. **`/llms.txt`** — [guide](/guides/llms-txt)
2. **`/robots.txt`** — allow reputable AI crawlers; use `Content-Signal` where appropriate.
3. **`/sitemap.xml`** — standard SEO still helps agents.
4. **`/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json`** — if you expose MCP ([guide](/guides/mcp-server-card)).

Run a scan on [isitagentready.com](https://isitagentready.com) or submit to our directory for an automated breakdown.

## 3. Get listed (supply)

1. [Submit](/submit) or use MCP `submit_listing` after [/connect](/connect).
2. Wait for curator approval.
3. **Claim** your listing if we discovered you first (email on your domain).
4. Embed the [agent-ready badge](/badge) after approval.

## 4. Get found (demand)

- Ensure your listing spec is linkable from docs.
- Ask integration partners to cite your AI Agent Pages URL.
- Experiment with the [Agent Tool Finder](/agents/tool-finder) so you see how agents query the directory.

## 4. Commerce optional

If you sell online, publish **UCP** and choose site type **commerce** so checkout-related checks count toward your profile score.
