A planned, repeatable study of whether sampled UK business websites provide the basic technical access conditions needed for normal search and selected AI-search crawlers.

No study results published yet
What the study will measure
Public accessibilityWhether the sampled page is publicly reachable and returns a usable response.
Robots controlsWhether robots.txt permits or blocks relevant crawlers at the sampled path.
Indexing controlsWhether visible meta directives or headers indicate indexability where applicable.
Canonical clarityWhether the page declares a sensible canonical destination.
Sitemap discoverabilityWhether a sitemap is declared and important pages are represented.
Basic page evidenceWhether the public page exposes text, identity and useful business information rather than relying entirely on opaque interactions.
Publication rules
The study should publish its sample definition, collection date, test logic, raw or auditable evidence where lawful, aggregate results and limitations. Method changes should be versioned so future runs remain comparable.
