Findability
The agent checks the live website: titles, descriptions, canonicals, hreflang, sitemap and structured data. It files each finding as a ticket with the URL, the current state and the impact.
The situation
Whoever builds checks their own delivery badly — and a fault in the machine-readable half of a page does not announce itself. Nothing crashes, no test turns red: a description that is too long gets cut off by Google; an hreflang that points only one way is not counted; an address in the sitemap that answers 404 costs trust. It can surface weeks later in Search Console, when a page sits at position five and nobody clicks.
How a check runs
From the shipped page to a ticket that says what it costs.
It looks at what was shipped
Not at the draft and not at the repository: it fetches the pages the way a search engine gets them and reads the head — title, description, canonical, hreflang, structured data — along with the sitemap and the addresses in it.
It measures instead of guessing
Search Console adds what the page actually reaches: impressions, position and clicks per address. So beside every finding stands not just a rule that is broken, but what breaking it costs.
It writes a finding with evidence
As a ticket in the same tracker as everything else: the address, what stands there, which rule that breaks, and the numbers beside it. Checkable without knowing the product — whoever reads it can open the page.
It changes only what is unambiguous
A missing annotation or a dead link has one right answer; that comes as a merge request. A title that has been indexed that way for years has many — it does not rewrite those, it proposes.
What it works with
The systems that ship for this area. If one is missing, an MCP server is the quickest route; anyone needing their own wake-up events and finer permissions writes a plugin.

What the platform enforces
What an agent for findability does not do.
Promise rankings
It makes sure nothing technical stands in the way. What a search engine makes of that is its decision, and anyone promising otherwise is selling tea leaves.
Overwrite indexed text
What has stood at an address for years brought its place in the index with it. A rewording is a proposal to a person, not a merge request.
Write for machines
No keyword carpets, no doorway pages, no text built for a search engine and nobody else. It gets found out, and it lands back on the domain.
