After the top fixes
With the fix above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included), the score would be about 98.2%. That would be 38th of 1,138 in Charlotte, up from 571st.
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 +23.8 points
A plain fetch was refused (http_429). 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. How to fix it
- robots.txt blocks GPTBot no points, but worth doing
These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. How to fix it
