Heron measures how visible a website is to AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) and returns a structured improvement plan. The x402 endpoint quotes a per-audit price in USDC on Base; agents pay and receive a machine-readable report. Name-your-price above a transparent floor is supported at /agent/quote. Free instant score at POST /api/audit; manifest at /.well-known/agent.json.
Pay from $0.250454 per request in USDC on Base, settled onchain via the x402 protocol, no signup, no API key needed.

Measured on the unpaid 402 handshake, not the paid call. A service can 402 correctly and still fail after payment.
compliance A (12/13): declares the current x402 version (2), stale (probe failing)
12 of 13 x402 conformance checks pass; failing: declares the current x402 version (2). Full checklist below.

risk clean
No deterministic risk flag. Risk fires only on an exact blocklist match, or a reserved-brand name with a mismatched verified payTo. Never from low uptime, a high price, or a model guess.

Top buyer share is a concentration signal, not part of the ranking score.

] OVER TIME
All charts use the 90d selector; each series spans only the dates it has data for. Every series is also served as JSON at /api/v1/services/heron/price, /scores, /volume and /buyers. On-chain volume and distinct buyers are measured over the service's settlement address and are a conservative undercount (only settlements that reach a measured facilitator are counted). The on-chain series roll up hourly, so the latest day can be up to about an hour behind; distinct buyers are counted per payout address, so a service that settles to more than one address is an upper bound.
checklist grew 11->14 on 2026-07-28; a step here is a metric change, not a regression
Measured site and economics pillars from the assessment history, so the latest value shown elsewhere on this page reads as a point on a trend rather than a permanent state.
