  • Your pages are listed in a sitemapImportantPartial

    https://www.relatedrentals.com/sitemap.xml is a sitemap, and robots.txt does not name it. 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.

    • No Sitemap line naming the sitemap: https://www.relatedrentals.com/robots.txt

    What to do Publish a sitemap and name it in robots.txt.

    For your web team: Serve a sitemap.xml (a urlset, or a sitemapindex for several files) and add a Sitemap line with the sitemap's full address to robots.txt.

  • Every page has its own titleImportantPartial

    The title is the page's own and repeats its words or lists search terms. Google builds the title link in search results from the page's title, and may change one that is missing, vague, boilerplate or repeated. A title keeps your wording in front of searchers.

    • Related Rentals - Luxury Apartments in NYC, CHI, DC, SF, LA & BOS: https://www.relatedrentals.com/

    What to do Give every page its own title that says what the page is and what it offers.

    For your web team: Add a <title> element with text to the head of every page. Describe that page in plain words as a phrase a person would read, and make it differ from every other page's title.

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

    Every AI search crawler and agent we grade is allowed. Training crawlers are allowed. 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.

  • Search engines may list each pageCriticalPass

    The page answers, no tag or header keeps it out of search results, and robots.txt lets search crawlers read it. Google leaves out a page marked noindex, and a page its crawler cannot read cannot be listed or used as a supporting link in its AI features.

  • 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.

  • Pages that do not exist say soImportantPass

    A page that does not exist answers 404. Google treats content behind a 404 or 410 as gone, and flags empty pages that answer 200 (success) as soft 404s.

  • Your business is described in structured dataImportantFail

    The structured data lacks the business type, apartment complex, apartment on /search, and service on /related-life. The page does not state the business's address, keywords, latitude, longitude, opening hours, price range, and telephone. Structured data spares an assistant from guessing what a page means. Google says it gives explicit clues about a page; Bing says it may support clearer grounding and promises nothing.

  • Your key facts are in the page itselfCriticalPass

    Scripts add 33 pieces of text your server does not send, and none of it is what visitors come to the page for. Claude's web fetch tool does not support pages that fill in their text with JavaScript, and Google reads such a page only after its first HTML, once it reaches the rendering queue. A page whose first response is empty waits or looks empty.

  • Lists and tables are built as lists and tablesImportantPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. WCAG, the web accessibility standard most laws point to, requires the structure a page shows on screen to be in its markup as well, and the axe rules check lists and tables for it.

  • Every page has its own summary for search resultsImportantPass

    The description is the page's own and reads as a summary. Google can show a page's meta description as its snippet and asks for a different one on every page. It is less likely to show a list of keywords, so a specific summary has the best chance of being used.

  • Text is readableImportantPartial

    Background and foreground colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio. WCAG requires text to contrast with its background by at least 4.5 to 1, and the axe rule color-contrast checks for it.

    • Fix any of the following: Element has insufficient color contrast of 3.75 (foreground color: #8e8273, background color: #ffffff, font size: 7.5pt (10px), font weight: normal). Expected contrast ratio of 4.5:1: <span class="filter-bar__label">: https://relatedrentals.com/

    What to do Darken pale text and underline the links inside paragraphs.

  • Buttons and links are big enough to tapImportantPartial

    Touch targets do not have sufficient size or spacing. web.dev recommends tap targets of around 48 pixels, and WCAG sets a minimum of 24 by 24 pixels.

    • Fix any of the following: Target has insufficient size (50.6px by 17px, should be at least 24px by 24px) Target has insufficient space to its closest neighbors. Safe clickable space has a diameter of 23.8px instead of at least 24px.: <a href="https://www.relatedrentals.com/blog" target="_blank">: https://relatedrentals.com/

    What to do Make small buttons and tightly packed links bigger on phones.

    For your web team: Make each target at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, or leave enough space around smaller ones, and aim for around 48 pixels. Set width=device-width in the viewport tag so taps answer at once.
