  • Internal links: 45 45 internal + 19 external links help crawlers navigate.

4. Schema / Structured Data Audit

  • ⚠️ Organization missing Adding Organization JSON-LD helps LLMs identify your entity.

  • 4 JSON-LD block(s) found Types: WebPage, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList, WebSite
  • WebSite present

5. robots.txt and sitemap.xml Audit

  • robots.txt present 30 chars
  • sitemap.xml present (17 URLs)

6. LLM / AI Crawler Accessibility

  • ⚠️ llms.txt missing Add /llms.txt — a concise, link-rich summary that helps LLMs orient on your site.
  • ⚠️ GPTBot not explicitly addressed No User-agent: GPTBot block in robots.txt. We recommend explicit Allow rules so crawlers don't fall back to defaults.
  • ⚠️ ClaudeBot not explicitly addressed No User-agent: ClaudeBot block in robots.txt. We recommend explicit Allow rules so crawlers don't fall back to defaults.
  • ⚠️ PerplexityBot not explicitly addressed No User-agent: PerplexityBot block in robots.txt. We recommend explicit Allow rules so crawlers don't fall back to defaults.

  • ⚠️ skill.md missing Add /skill.md describing what your site lets agents do — speeds up agent task routing.
  • ⚠️ /.well-known/security.txt missing Publish a /.well-known/security.txt with at least a Contact: line. Crawlers and security researchers expect it; AI systems use it as a trust signal.

7. Positioning Clarity

  • ⚠️ No pricing/plans link found AI summaries commonly include pricing. Add a /pricing page even if pricing is custom.
  • ⚠️ Value-prop language not detected Pages with phrases like 'we help X', 'platform for Y', 'built for Z' are easier for LLMs to summarize.
  • About/Team path discoverable
  • H1 communicates value THE BEST COWORKING IN LANCASTERGATHER. IMAGINE. CREATE. THRIVE. COWORK
  • Contact / signup path discoverable

8. Missing or Hard-to-Find Information

  • 6 data point(s) could not be found from public pages · Pricing · Customer logos · Social proof · New hires · Positioning · Executive team
  • ⚠️ Add /llms.txt A short Markdown-flavored summary at the root. Include your H1, value prop, top 5–10 links, and pricing summary.

  • ⚠️ Add a /pricing page Even contact-us pricing benefits from a /pricing page that LLMs can link to in answers.

  • ⚠️ Add Organization JSON-LD Include name, url, logo, sameAs (your social profiles). LLMs use this to resolve your brand entity.

  • ⚠️ Speed up homepage rendering AI crawlers commonly time out around 3s. Cache the HTML, ship less JS for the first paint, and pre-render the hero section server-side.

  • ⚠️ Add a meta description 50–160 chars. Repeat your core value prop in plain language; this often becomes the AI snippet.

    <meta name="description" content="CrawlProof shows you exactly how AI crawlers see your site, then tells you what to fix." />
    
  • ⚠️ Add Twitter Card meta tags Used by social platforms and AI agents for richer previews.

    <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
    <meta name="twitter:title" content="Your Page Title" />
    <meta name="twitter:description" content="50–160 char description." />
    <meta name="twitter:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.jpg" />
    
  • ⚠️ Add alt text to all meaningful images Decorative-only images can use empty alt='', but logos, screenshots, and product images need descriptive alt.

  • ⚠️ Allow GPTBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: GPTBot Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.

  • ⚠️ Allow ClaudeBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: ClaudeBot Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.

  • ⚠️ Allow PerplexityBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: PerplexityBot Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.

  • ⚠️ Allow Google-Extended in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: Google-Extended Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.

  • ⚠️ Allow Applebot-Extended in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: Applebot-Extended Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.

  • ⚠️ Allow CCBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: CCBot Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.

  • ⚠️ Add /skill.md Describe what an agent can do with your site (e.g., 'Search docs', 'Look up pricing'). Useful for agentic flows.

  • ⚠️ Publish /.well-known/security.txt A security contact builds trust with crawlers and researchers. Minimal example:

    Contact: mailto:security@yourdomain.com
    Expires: 2027-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
    Preferred-Languages: en
    
  • ⚠️ State your audience explicitly Use phrases like 'Built for B2B SaaS marketing teams' on the homepage and About page.

  • ⚠️ Reference your sitemap in robots.txt Add Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml so crawlers don't have to guess.

  • ⚠️ Add Product / SoftwareApplication JSON-LD On /pricing and feature pages — include offers, name, applicationCategory.
