Strengths and Gaps

What lifts and drags the score.

Top Strength

Huntington's strongest surface is Small Business / Lending, scoring 57 out of 100, with Customer Care close behind at 53. On the two-dimension split, Technical Readiness is the relative strength at 20/50, which means the work that surface owns reads more cleanly to a research or comparison agent than the field average.

Top Gap

The largest gap is Checking & Savings at 23, with Investments also lagging at 24. Content Architecture is the side holding the overall score down at 18/50. Crawl access is the first thing to confirm: Huntington runs an Akamai edge that can return 403 to non-browser user agents, so a WAF rule that lets benign LLM crawlers through is the highest-leverage technical fix.

The encouraging read: Huntington already has a higher-scoring surface to model from. Extending what works on Small Business / Lending to the lagging surfaces converts existing content into agent-readable answers without a redesign.

Huntington scores 38 out of 100, balanced across both dimensions. The next points come from depth on the surfaces that trail, starting with Checking & Savings.

The Two Dimensions

Where the work lives.

Every Agent Readiness Score splits into Technical Readiness and Content Architecture. The two halves point to different teams and different timelines.

Technical Readiness
20 / 50
Technical Readiness measures crawlability, server-side rendering, and structured data. The standard lifts: whitelist AI crawlers in robots.txt, ship product numbers such as APR, fees, and APY in server-rendered HTML, and add FinancialProduct and CreditCard JSON-LD to the pages that already hold the answers.
Content Architecture
18 / 50
Content Architecture measures content depth and conversational clarity. The standard lifts: add FAQPage schema with real question-and-answer pairs, publish plain-language answers to the questions shoppers actually ask, and keep a static, indexable help center an agent can quote.
