@Nordlyte_studio Worth checking the structured data too. In the Verona scan, 43.8% of the 762 sites with a LocalBusiness block miss opening hours in it. Source: Overture Maps business list, Verona State of the Web report: https://t.co/KBO5ZrTa1W
@stephens94 Not on its own. People reading server logs report AI crawlers rarely fetch llms.txt, so it is hygiene, not the lever. Named versus cited answers to real buyer prompts are the better test.
@careblais@rustybrick@adsliaison@mikeryanretail Before launch: a LocalBusiness and a WebSite schema block, and a phone and address search engines can read. Of 5,075 Verona businesses with a working site, only 4.1% have complete basic structured data. Free SEO audit of your homepage: https://t.co/K2dCL5bITp
@vokolla Correction: we do not have crawler logs of our own. That finding comes from other people's server logs, including the census in the post above.
@vokolla Our logs point the same way: AI crawlers mostly fetch the HTML of the page, and llms.txt is rarely requested. Worth adding as a cheap signal, but do not expect it to decide which sites get named in answers on its own.
@bilalnerio In our Verona scan, 43.8% of the 762 sites with a LocalBusiness block miss opening hours, 20.5% the phone and 13.1% the address. Only 4.1% of the 5,075 businesses with a working site have both a LocalBusiness and a WebSite block. https://t.co/KBO5ZrSCco
@nicklaunches We shipped a free SEO and AI visibility audit. It is the same scanner we use on our own clients' sites, with no pro version, so what it lists is worth fixing whoever does the work. https://t.co/K2dCL5bITp
@ChrisSimpson Point 47 matters more than it looks, because most local sites never get that far. Of 5,075 Verona businesses with a working site, only 4.1% have complete basic structured data (LocalBusiness and WebSite). Full report: https://t.co/KBO5ZrSCco
The report is part of our scan of 165 cities.

How hard was it for you to find the website of a Venetian business that worked well on mobile? ๐
What do the websites of Veniceโs businesses look like?
We analyzed 4,708 websites covering lodging, restaurants and shops. Venice lives off tourism, but are its websites up to the job?

How we ran the scan
Businesses come from Overture Maps. We only measure the home page of sites that respond: where bot protection blocks our tool, we measure nothing.
In Venice, thatโs 4,708 websites and 168,001 images.
