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), the score would be about 100%, which would be first of 3,965 in Sydney.
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 server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (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 +3.7 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
- The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data
The site shows +61292528695, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 1300913291. 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.
