The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Ben & Jerry's is mostly ready for agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Ben & Jerry's's website. It can read what Ben & Jerry's offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://www.benandjerry.com.au/ice-cream-near-me/instant-ice-cream-delivery-near-me (on the business's own site) - Menu: https://www.benandjerry.com.au/scoop-shops/menu - Phone: 61424415756 ## What to fix first - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied), PerplexityBot (challenge:access denied) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents.
