Findability

• Service-area or locations pagesNo service-area or locations pages found among this site's internal links. A page for each town or suburb served puts those place names on the site in a form search engines and AI assistants can read.

Content

• More than a brochure siteOnly 12 distinct internal links found on the homepage. This scan reads one page per site, so that is a count of what the homepage links to, not of the pages on the site. This check passes at 30 or more.
• Site looks maintainedThe most recent year anywhere on the page is 2024. This check passes at 2025 or later.
• Page title present and sized correctlyTitle is 66 characters ('Boston HVAC Contractor — Heating & Air Conditioning...'). This check passes at 10 to 65 characters.

Trust

• Licensing, insurance or guarantee statedFew or no trust signals (licensed, insured, bonded, guarantee, years in business). This check passes at two or more distinct signals. State the ones this business carries.
• Linked social profilesNo links to facebook.com, instagram.com, linkedin.com, youtube.com, x.com, twitter.com, nextdoor.com found on the page. Link the profiles this business keeps.

AI visibility

• AI crawlers and opt-out tokens allowed in robots.txt CRITICALbostonheatingairconditioning.com/robots.txt disallows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended. GPTBot, ClaudeBot are crawlers, so disallowing them asks those vendors not to fetch the page. Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended are not crawlers: they are the tokens a vendor reads to decide whether to train on a page and whether to ground an answer in it, so disallowing them does not stop the page being fetched.
• Opening hours in page textHours aren't stated in readable text. Put the opening hours in the page text.

Measured as legibility: whether an assistant can read and understand the site. Assistants are not polled live.

4 of these 6 checks pass. This pillar is capped at 25 whenever the listed site disallows an AI crawler or an opt-out token in robots.txt, which is why it reads 25 here and not 66.7.
