Findings with evidence

FixNo llms.txt

GET /llms.txt returned 404.

Fix: Create /llms.txt: a # title, a > one-line summary, then ## sections that list key pages as [name](url). Draft one free at checkaiready.com/llms-txt-generator.

FixNo JSON-LD structured data on the homepage

No <script type="application/ld+json"> block in the HTML we received.

Fix: Add an Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD block to the homepage with name, url, logo, and sameAs links. The $19 report includes a ready-to-paste block for your site.

ImproveNo language declared

<html> has no lang attribute.

Fix: Add lang to the <html> tag, for example <html lang="en">.

Improve21 H1 headings

<h1>The #1 converting AI Employee for local businesses</h1>
<h1>80%</h1>
<h1>10%</h1>

Fix: Use one <h1> that states the main topic of the page.

ImproveServer responded in 1018 ms

Time to response headers from our checker, after 1 redirect. Final URL: https://www.podium.com/

Fix: Slow responses can make crawlers give up. Add page caching or a CDN in front of the homepage.

ImproveHTML size 788 KB, 16 script tags

1 render-blocking script in <head>: https://privacy.podium.com/fides.js

Fix: Large HTML slows crawlers and tools with size limits. Move inline data and scripts out of the HTML.
