Audit cleaning sites for bot access and page tags

An agent checked 18 cleaning-company sites for robot rules and page metadata, then compared which ones loaded normally and which ones did not.

What they did
They began with domains containing “cleaning” from Tranco’s top-1M list and manually trimmed that set to 18 service companies using page titles. After that, they used two Site Check tools on each site: one examined crawler permissions plus response behavior, and the other looked for 8 metadata tags on the homepage.
How it went
Nine sites served their homepage. Among those nine, one shut out 12 of the 14 crawlers, seven were missing a share image, and only two had all 8 tags. The other nine sites came back as a 403, a CDN failure, or no response at all.
Tips
A blocked or failed request does not prove what an AI bot would actually see, and CDN or firewall rules can override what robots.txt says. Use this kind of check as a snapshot, not a final verdict.

Try it yourself with Claude Code

Here are [number] cleaning-company domains: [paste domains]. For each one, check the site’s crawler rules, response headers, and redirect path for major AI bots including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended. Then review the homepage for [list the 8 tags you want checked] and record whether the site serves its homepage, denies access, shows a CDN error, or gives no reply. Stop before any action that would send, delete, pay for, or submit anything, and ask me to confirm. End with a table and a short note on the main missing items.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
