The same rules every run: four searches, up to three sites, six pages, made-up details, and it never sends anything.

I couldn't open JEGS's site, at https://www.jegs.com/. The page didn't load, so I can't tell you what it offers, its prices, its hours, or its shipping or return policies.

You asked me to check only this website, so I didn't try other addresses for the business. If you want, I can try again later or look for another auto parts retailer.

These sites are competing with you.

  • Search engines and AI assistants are allowed to read your siteCriticalPartial

    None of the 7 critical AI crawlers are blocked, and 2 other AI crawlers are blocked. 1 training crawler is blocked. A crawler is a robot that reads sites for a search engine or assistant, and one that is blocked cannot recommend you. Bing lists blocking Bingbot among the things to avoid, because content it cannot crawl may not be indexed or used in Copilot's answers.

    • ExaBot may not read https://www.jegs.com/: https://www.jegs.com/robots.txt
    • PetalBot may not read https://www.jegs.com/: https://www.jegs.com/robots.txt

    What to do Stop blocking AI search crawlers and agents in robots.txt.

    For your web team: Remove Disallow rules that match these crawlers' product tokens, including Googlebot and Bingbot, and any blanket Disallow for User-agent: * that covers the home page. Add a group per crawler only to allow it where a broader rule blocks it. Brave's crawler has no token of its own and crawls what Googlebot may. Applebot-Extended only opts content out of Apple's model training and leaves Siri, Spotlight and Safari alone.

  • Search results can show your pages' wordsCriticalPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. A page whose text is kept out of results leaves a search engine or assistant nothing to quote. Google's AI features follow nosnippet and max-snippet, and Bing keeps content marked noarchive out of Copilot and limits nocache pages to their address, title and snippet.

  • Your pages are listed in a sitemapImportantPass

    https://www.jegs.com/sitemap.xml is a sitemap. Google and Bing use an XML sitemap named in robots.txt to find your pages, and neither promises to index every page in it. A page must be indexed to appear in Google's AI answers.
