The climb
With the three fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User; Structured data is incomplete) the score would be about 80%: 113th of 487 in Phoenix, up from 346th.
Peers are the businesses of the same index with a reachable site, latest scan of each; the rank uses the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (challenge:attention required) 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
- robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User +7.5 points
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
- Structured data is incomplete +6 points
Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it
- Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points
Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it
- Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points
Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. How to fix it
- 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
