All Findings

robots.txt allows all major AI crawlers

Page returns HTTP 200

Page content available without JavaScript

No CAPTCHA or bot protection detected

Found 2 JSON-LD structured data blocks

JSON-LD found but no business schema (found: WebPage)
Add a business-specific schema type (LocalBusiness, Organization, Product, Service) to help AI agents understand what your business offers.

Schema has 1 fields — consider adding more for better AI comprehension

OpenGraph tags complete (title, description, image)

Meta tags complete (title, description, canonical)

No llms.txt file found — AI agents cannot discover your services
Create a /llms.txt file at your site root:

# Your Business Name

> Brief description of your business.

## Services
- [Service 1](/service-1): Description
- [Service 2](/service-2): Description

See https://llmstxt.org for the full spec.

No MCP server or AI agent endpoint detected — agents cannot interact with your business
Set up a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents can interact with your business directly. This allows agents to book appointments, check availability, and more.

With Dashform, you can add MCP support to your website in minutes — no coding required.

Alternatively, create /.well-known/ai-plugin.json for ChatGPT plugin compatibility.

sitemap.xml found and valid

RSS/Atom feed detected

No Schema.org potentialAction — agents can't tell what they can do on your site
Add a potentialAction to your Schema.org JSON-LD so agents can act, e.g.:
"potentialAction": {
  "@type": "ReserveAction",
  "target": "https://yoursite.com/book"
}

No scheduling link found — agents can't book time with you directly

No form or direct contact path — agents have no way to convert here
Add an agent-usable conversion path — a contact form, a booking widget, or a Dashform AI funnel agents can complete on the visitor's behalf.

CTA buttons have descriptive labels

Missing semantic HTML: <h1>
Add missing semantic HTML elements: <h1>

98% of images have alt text (489/499)

"sameAs": [

  "https://linkedin.com/company/yourbrand"
]

No Google Maps or Business Profile presence detected — AI agents may not verify your location
Claim your Google Business Profile at https://business.google.com and embed a Google Maps link or iframe on your page. AI agents use Google Maps data to verify business locations.

Contact information detected (phone, address)

Response time is 1.9s — acceptable, could be faster

HTML payload is on the heavier side (815KB)

Entry URL redirects before serving — adds latency for agents

Author/publisher identity declared in schema

No review/rating schema — agents can't surface your reputation

Security headers present (HSTS + Content-Security-Policy)

No dateModified/datePublished in schema — agents can't judge freshness

"dateModified": "2026-01-15"
