Example result
Wraycroft Creamery, before the repairs: 3 verified problems
This is the EdenLens free check, run on an invented business and published as it came out, so you can read a whole result without running one. Checked 6 October 2026; 10 of 40 criteria read from one page, robots.txt and the sitemap.
An invented business. The result is the engine's own output for its fixture page; the domain is a display name. It is not a client.
The quick check found 3 verified problems.
Each one is computed from your own site and cites the evidence it rests on.
AI answer crawlers blocked (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot)
robots.txt blocks OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot. Assistants that respect these rules cannot fetch this site to cite it, whatever the content quality. robots.txt also names GPTBot, which govern training corpora rather than live citation. That is a documented choice, not a fault, and it does not affect this gate.
Evidence EV-022, EV-026, EV-027
No machine-readable business identity
The homepage carries no Organization or LocalBusiness node. Search and AI systems have no machine-readable statement of who this business is, where it is or how to reach it, so they must infer it from the page text or from what third parties say. A telephone number is published on the page (01632 960142, found in page text), but nothing marks it as belonging to this business, so a machine can read the digits without knowing whose they are.
Evidence EV-033, EV-034, EV-035
No XML sitemap
The sitemap request answered HTTP 404. Search engines can still crawl the site, but discovery of new and changed pages is slower and less complete.
Evidence EV-006
Four foundations
Each one is a gate: if it fails, nothing downstream can work, however good the page is.
- Pass The site is served securely
The homepage loads over HTTPS and plain http requests are redirected to it.
Evidence EV-031, EV-032
- Pass Search engines can reach and index the site
The homepage answers with HTTP 200, carries no noindex directive, and robots.txt does not block Googlebot or Bingbot.
Evidence EV-001, EV-019
- Fail AI assistants are allowed to read the site
robots.txt blocks OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot. Assistants that respect these rules cannot fetch this site to cite it, whatever the content quality. robots.txt also names GPTBot, which govern training corpora rather than live citation. That is a documented choice, not a fault, and it does not affect this gate.
Evidence EV-022, EV-026, EV-027
- Pass Content is readable without running JavaScript
The initial HTML carries 224 visible words, so crawlers that do not execute JavaScript still see the content.
Evidence EV-002
Who machines think this is
Fail The homepage carries no Organization or LocalBusiness node. Search and AI systems have no machine-readable statement of who this business is, where it is or how to reach it, so they must infer it from the page text or from what third parties say. A telephone number is published on the page (01632 960142, found in page text), but nothing marks it as belonging to this business, so a machine can read the digits without knowing whose they are.
Evidence EV-033, EV-034, EV-035
Three readiness readings
Each reading is its signals counted against the number tested. There is no band, no total and no percentage; the count is the result.
SEO: 3 of 5
Can search engines find, fetch and file these pages?
- Yes the pages can be indexed
- No a sitemap lists more than the homepage
- Yes a canonical URL points at this site
- Yes the title says which page and which business this is
- No the description says something the title does not
Evidence EV-004, EV-012
AEO: 3 of 4
Can a clear answer be lifted from this page?
- Yes one clear top-level heading names the page
- Yes enough section headings for a machine to lift one part
- No the description offers an answer, not a greeting
- Yes facts are in text, not locked inside images
Evidence EV-037, EV-038, EV-018
GEO: 0 of 4
Can an assistant identify this business and corroborate it?
- No the crawlers that fetch pages for answers are allowed
- No a business node identifies the organisation
- No that node carries the facts an answer needs
- No declared profiles connect the business to where else it appears
Evidence EV-033, EV-034, EV-022
What this check could not see
- Site-wide consistency beyond the homepage
- Whether pages answer the questions customers actually ask
- Whether the business identity agrees across the registers, maps and profiles where it appears
- Whether search engines and assistants actually reach the site, which needs server logs
- Whether assistants mention or cite the business today
This free check reads one page, robots.txt and the sitemap. It reports readiness signals only and does not measure live visibility in AI answers. Anything it could not see is left unassessed, never counted as a failure.
