things to fix

Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. No way to book an appointment online +15 points

    Agents have nothing to act on. Add an online appointment page on your own domain. How to fix it

  2. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

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

  3. 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

  4. 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

Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
