Findings

What to fix first

  1. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

  2. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  3. No llms.txt no points, still worth doing

    Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
