Findings with evidence
FixHomepage serves a bot challenge page to automated clients
Our checker got a challenge page instead of your content: Workable | All-in-one HR software. Findings below describe that page, not your real homepage.
Fix: AI crawlers get the same challenge and cannot read your site. In your CDN or firewall (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva), allow verified AI search bots, or lower the bot protection level on public pages.
Fixllms.txt found, with gaps
First line: "title: Workable - recruiting and HR software". 12 ## sections, 21 links, 6681 bytes.
Fix: First line should be a # heading with your site or company name.
ImproveJSON-LD: 1 block, types Corporation, PostalAddress, Person
