Can AI assistants read angieslist.com?

Measured on 2026-09-13 by asking the site 5 times — once as a browser, once as each of the 4 crawlers that feed ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Meta AI, Apple Intelligence and Doubao — and comparing what came back. The AI-training opt-out tokens that never crawl are read from robots.txt instead. Tranco rank #16,555.

Cloudflare answers for this domain. Where a crawler above is refused while robots.txt allows it, the rule is applied by that edge, not written by the site — see how often each edge does this.

What to change, in order

  1. Let in the 4 crawlers your own robots.txt already allows+4 crawlers
    ClaudeBot, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot are turned away before reading the page (served a bot challenge instead of the page), while robots.txt permits them — so this block is not written in your site. Cloudflare answers for this domain. Cloudflare applies AI-crawler blocking at the edge, independently of robots.txt (Security → Bots, plus the managed robots.txt feature). https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/concepts/bot/ Fixing it takes this domain from 0 to 4 of 4 crawlers.
  2. Declare the facts in JSON-LD
    There is no JSON-LD on the page, so every fact — who you are, what you sell, the price — has to be guessed out of the prose and the layout. A schema.org block is the difference between being quoted correctly and being paraphrased.
  3. Publish sitemap.xml and llms.txt
    sitemap.xml and llms.txt are missing, so an assistant has to discover the site by following links. llms.txt is the emerging convention for telling an assistant which pages actually matter.

Method. 5 live HTTP requests (one per crawler, one as a browser) plus robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap.xml and security.txt, 12-second timeout each, from a single vantage point. Blocking AI crawlers is a legitimate choice, not a failure: this page records what is true, not what should be. Domain comes from the Tranco research list. One page per domain — the homepage — is audited.
