Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points

    A plain fetch was refused (challenge:_incapsula_). 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

  2. Ordering through an unrecognised third party +5 points

    Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it

  3. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

  4. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows +61 2 9114 7321, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (02) 9664 2900. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.
