New Website Intelligence Standard Proposes Framework for SEO, AI, and Agent Readiness

A new framework called the Website Intelligence Standard 2026 (WIS-2026) has been proposed. It aims to evaluate websites across four layers: traditional search engine optimization (SEO), AI answer extractability (AEO), AI citation for trust (GEO), and readiness for software agents (ARO). The standard uses 16 audit dimensions and emphasizes evidence-based rules for measurement. It is intended as an open guide for humans, crawlers, and automated systems. The framework addresses the shift from focusing solely on search rankings to ensuring a site is retrievable and usable by various AI and agent technologies.
