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: <nav>, <header>
Add missing semantic HTML elements: <nav>, <header>

100% of images have alt text (20/20)

Sufficient text content available for AI extraction

Heading levels skip (e.g., h1 directly to h3)

4 social media links found

No Schema.org sameAs links — AI agents cannot verify your identity across platforms
Add sameAs to your Schema.org JSON-LD:
"sameAs": [
  "https://twitter.com/yourbrand",
  "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.

Limited contact information — add phone, email, and address

Response time is 2.4s — acceptable, could be faster

Lean HTML payload (144KB)

Response is compressed (br)

Caching headers present (Cache-Control/ETag/Last-Modified)

Entry URL redirects before serving — adds latency for agents

No author/publisher in schema — weak authorship signal
Add author and publisher to your Schema.org JSON-LD to establish credibility:
"publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Your Brand" }

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
Add dateModified/datePublished to your Schema.org JSON-LD so agents can judge freshness:
"dateModified": "2026-01-15"

Footer/copyright year is current

HTTPS enabled

SSL certificate valid

Privacy policy link found

No terms of service link detected
