Top fixes

failrobots.txt allows AI agentsDiscoverability

7 access agent(s) blocked: ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, YouBot, Amazonbot — these keep your site out of AI answers. 10 training-data crawler(s) blocked (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Bytespider, CCBot, cohere-ai, Diffbot, Meta-ExternalAgent) — a licensing choice, not scored.

Fix: Allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot in robots.txt (or remove the blanket Disallow).

failSitemap presentDiscoverability

No reachable sitemap.xml. Publish one and reference it in robots.txt.

Fix: Publish /sitemap.xml and reference it from robots.txt with a Sitemap: line.

failCanonical URLDiscoverability

No <link rel="canonical"> tag in <head>. Agents use canonical URLs to dedupe and cite.

Fix: Add <link rel="canonical" href="…"> pointing at the primary URL of each page.

failMeta descriptionReadability

No <meta name="description">. Agents use it as a page summary; add a 50–200 character description.

Fix: Add `<meta name="description" content="...">` to your primary pages. Agents frequently use it as a summary.

failJSON-LD presentStructured data

No JSON-LD blocks found. Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> with a schema.org type for this page.

Fix: Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> describing the page (Organization, Article, Product, FAQPage).

failReachabilityActionability

Terminal HTTP 403.

Fix: Chained redirects multiply latency and break some agent crawlers. Collapse to a single redirect.

Does AI actually recommend bloomberg.com?

This scan shows whether an agent can read the site. One free probe asks a real assistant a real buying question and records who it cited.

Run the free probe →
This scan graded one page. Your site is more than one page.

This graded your homepage. Your pricing, docs, and checkout live on other pages — the ones assistants actually quote when they recommend you — and a 52/100 here means agents are already missing things on the page you polish most. The $29 Deep Scan audits the whole site against all 31 checks, then emails a PDF with every failing check and its exact fix, ranked by what costs you the most visibility. One-time, delivered in minutes, no subscription.

Track this score

Get this report by email, then a heads-up when bloomberg.com’s agent-readiness actually changes — a check regressing, or the composite dropping.

Two things never trigger an email: a score change caused by us publishing a new rubric, because that is a different instrument rather than a change to your site, and movement explained only by timing-derived checks, which shift run to run on a site nobody touched.

Want it on your own schedule, with Slack or a webhook instead of email? Score-drift monitoring is on every paid plan.

This score says whether an AI agent could read bloomberg.com. AI traffic analytics says whether one actually came — and which pages turned it away.
