After the top fixes
With the two fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 87.7%. That would be 196th of 1,685 in Washington, DC, up from 1137th.
Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points
A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through.

- Structured data is incomplete +3 points
