What this means for your business
AI assistants can open your website, but they struggle to understand it or take action on it. When customers ask an AI for a recommendation, they may be sent to a competitor.

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 64 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 81% of the 5,345 websites we have checked.
Today, AI assistants can open your website and understand what you offer. They can partly find your profiles and listings on your site and read who you are from your pages, with gaps that cost you recommendations. They cannot contact or book you. The step to focus on first is “Can AI contact or book you?”. AI assistants have no way to contact or book you today, so a recommendation cannot turn into a booking.
Across the 30 checks we ran, we found 15 things to improve, spread over 4 of the five steps. 3 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 12 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 profiles and listings on your site?
PartlyYour site points AI assistants to some of your profiles and listings, but a few of the signals they match on are missing.
This step reads what your site tells an assistant about the rest of your presence: links to your social profiles and directory listings, a business profile written for machines, contact details, and signs that the site is active and looked after. It does not test whether assistants already know you from reviews and listings elsewhere; many businesses are found without any of this.
2 things to improve
- 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 read who you are from your pages?
PartlyYour pages tell AI assistants part of who you are, but some details are missing or unstructured, so they may describe you incompletely.
This step reads the details your site publishes for machines: your name, what you do, where you are, how to reach you, who stands behind the site, and the reviews and references that back it up. Without them, an assistant has to guess who you are from the prose or rely on what it knows from elsewhere.
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?
YesYour 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.
4 things to improve
- Your page takes longer to respond than assistants like to wait. They give up after a few seconds and move on. Your hosting provider or developer can usually speed this up with caching or a faster plan.
- 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.
- Your server does not tell visitors how long they may keep a copy of your page, so every repeat visit downloads it again. This slows assistants that check back. A one-line setting fixes it.

Can AI contact or book you?
NoAI assistants have no way to contact or book you today, so a recommendation cannot turn into a booking.
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 can read about you, but they have no way to work with you directly, for example to check availability or make a booking on a customer's behalf. Dashform provides this connection when you add a funnel; no developer needed.
- 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.
And one more in the full details.
Dashform can take care of this for you. No developer needed.
Can AI understand what you offer?
YesAI assistants can read and understand what you offer.
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.
