Facts AI states about you
Can AI read your site?
ChatGPT's crawlers allowed
robots.txt allows OAI-SearchBot and ChatGPT-User.
PerplexityBot blocked
Your CDN's bot protection returns an error to it, even though robots.txt allows it.
Key specs in images only
Sodium, potassium and magnesium amounts appear only in a packaging photo.
Product schema present
Price, availability and reviews are marked up. Nutrition facts are not.
The three fixes we would make first
Let PerplexityBot through your CDN
A settings change in your bot protection. It is the likely reason Perplexity named you in none of its 10 answers.
Put mineral amounts in text and schema
Add the mg per stick to your product pages and Amazon listing as text, and to your product markup, so AI can quote 500 mg instead of guessing.
Correct the stevia claim at its source
Update the old FAQ page and two Amazon Q&A answers that still describe the 2023 formula, then re-test.
Your 90-day plan comes next
