Findability

• LocalBusiness structured dataHas generic Organization schema but no LocalBusiness markup, so the markup states that this is a company without stating the city it serves or when it is open. Add LocalBusiness markup.
• Phone matches the Google listingThe phone number on the Google listing does not appear on the site's homepage. Show that number on the page, or correct the listing, so the two match.

AI visibility

• AI crawlers and opt-out tokens allowed in robots.txt CRITICALhaloplumbingtx.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.
• Machine-readable business identityNo LocalBusiness schema on the page, so the markup states neither the business type nor the place it serves. Add it.
• Opening hours in page textHours aren't stated in readable text. Put the opening hours in the page text.
• FAQ / question-shaped contentNo FAQ content. Add an FAQ section that answers the questions customers ask.

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

2 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 33.3.
