Table stakes

• Tappable phone number CRITICALNo tel: link found on the page. Make the phone number a tel: link. (-12 points)

Findability

• LocalBusiness structured dataNo structured data at all: no schema.org markup was found on the page, so nothing on it states the business type, the city it serves or its hours in a machine-readable form. Add LocalBusiness markup.
• 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 15 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.
• Exactly one H1 headingFound 4 H1 headings. Should be exactly one stating what the business does and where.

Trust

• 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 CRITICALwww.stllawncare.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.
• Services and service area stated in plain textNo services or service-area wording found in the page text: none of our services, services we, what we do, service area or areas we serve appears. State the services and the places served in readable text.
• 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.
