After the top fixes
With the two fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 10th of 429 in Belfast, up from 187th.
What to fix first
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that 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
- No llms.txt no points, but worth doing
Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it
