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.

No sitemap.xml found
Create a /sitemap.xml file listing all your important pages. Also declare it in robots.txt:
Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml

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

A form is present but has no obvious email field

CTA buttons have descriptive labels

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

100% of images have alt text (109/109)

Sufficient text content available for AI extraction

6 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.

Contact information detected (phone, address)

Response time is 1.9s — acceptable, could be faster

Large HTML payload (1312KB)

Response is compressed (gzip)

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

"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"

Machine-readable <time> elements found

Footer/copyright year is current
