Your report
In plain words
What this score means for your business, written for the owner rather than the web developer. The technical detail behind every sentence is further down.
Your website scored 66 out of 100. AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can reach your site, but they struggle to make sense of it or to do anything once they arrive. In practice, when a customer asks an assistant for a recommendation, a competitor with clearer pages is more likely to be named. The good news is that most of what holds you back is straightforward to fix. That places you ahead of 86% of the 5,315 websites we have checked.
Today, AI assistants can open your website. They can partly tell who you are、contact or book you、understand what you offer, with gaps that cost you recommendations. They cannot find your business. The step to focus on first is “Can AI find your business?”. AI assistants struggle to find your business or confirm it is active, so you rarely come up in their recommendations.
Across the 32 checks we ran, we found 16 things to improve, spread over 5 of the five steps. 2 of them disappear when you add a Dashform funnel: a form and booking path that AI assistants can complete on a customer's behalf. That takes about five minutes and needs no developer. The remaining 14 need a web developer. The fix list at the end of this report gives them exact instructions, so a short session should cover most of it. None of this requires rebuilding your website.

The five steps, one by one
A customer asks an AI assistant for a recommendation. Here is what happens at each step when that assistant reaches your website.
Can AI find your business?
いいえAI assistants struggle to find your business or confirm it is active, so you rarely come up in their recommendations.
Before an AI assistant can recommend you, it has to find you. It looks at your social profiles, business listings, and whether your site shows signs of being active and looked after, much like a cautious customer would.
5 things to improve
- Your page links to none of your social profiles, so assistants cannot cross-check that you are the same business they see elsewhere. Linking your profiles in the footer is enough.
- Your business record does not point to your official profiles elsewhere, so assistants cannot be sure the accounts they find are yours. Listing them in the record removes the doubt.
- We found no link between your site and a Google Business Profile, which assistants use to confirm where you are, when you open, and what customers say. Claiming the free listing and linking it is worthwhile for any local business.

Can AI tell who you are?
PartlyAI assistants can tell who you are, but some details are missing or unstructured, so they may describe you incompletely.
AI assistants only recommend businesses they can verify. They read the details your site publishes for machines: your name, what you do, where you are, and how to reach you. Missing or vague details make them hesitate.
5 things to improve
- Your page carries business details for machines, but not in a form that says “this is a business”. Assistants cannot tell whether they are reading a company, an article, or a product. Labelling the record as your kind of business fixes this.
- Your business record for machines is incomplete. Assistants learn only a few facts about you and have to guess the rest, which makes them cautious about recommending you. Adding your address, hours, contact details, and services makes the record useful.
- Your business record is present but written incorrectly, so machines discard it. Assistants get none of the facts it was meant to give them. A small correction makes the whole record readable.

Can AI open your website?
利用可Your website opens reliably for AI assistants.
An AI assistant has to be able to open your pages before anything else counts. Blocked crawlers, security challenges, slow responses, or broken links stop it before it reads a word, and it simply moves on to the next business.
One thing to improve
- Your server sends pages at full size instead of shrinking them first, so they arrive more slowly than they need to. Most hosting providers can switch compression on in a setting.

Can AI contact or book you?
PartlyAI assistants can reach you in a limited way. A proper form or booking path would turn recommendations into bookings.
In the final step the assistant tries to act for the customer: book a time, send an enquiry, or start a purchase. It needs a form, a booking path, or a connection it can use. Without one, even a glowing recommendation ends with the customer on their own.
4 things to improve
- Your site has no guide written for AI assistants, so they have to work out what you offer by reading everything. A short llms.txt file lists your services and key pages in one place, and takes an afternoon at most.
- Assistants have no list of your pages, so they have to guess their addresses and may miss important ones. Most website platforms can generate a sitemap automatically.
- Assistants can find no way to book time with you. A customer who asks one to make an appointment is told to do it themselves. A booking link or funnel that assistants can use turns those requests into bookings.

Dashform can take care of this for you. No developer needed.
Can AI understand what you offer?
PartlyAI assistants can read most of your website, but some pages are unclear to them.
Once inside, the assistant reads your pages much like a person skimming them. Clear headings, real text, described images, and properly labelled buttons help it describe you accurately to the customer.
One thing to improve
- Your page does not label its parts, so a machine cannot tell the menu from the main content or the footer. Assistants may treat navigation as content or miss the important part. Your developer can add the labels without changing how the page looks.
