  • Pages that do not exist say soImportantFail

    A page that does not exist answers 200 with a normal page at https://www.thehiveiowa.com/, so every guessed address looks real. Google treats content behind a 404 or 410 as gone, and flags empty pages that answer 200 (success) as soft 404s.

    • Status 200: https://www.thehiveiowa.com/

    What to do Make a mistyped address show a page that says it was not found, with a 404 status behind it.

    For your web team: Return 404 (or 410 for a page that is gone) for unknown routes. A single-page app needs its server to answer unknown paths with the not-found page and a 404 status; a redirect to the home page makes every address look real.

    How Google Search handles HTTP status codes, GoogleReport an issue with this check

  • 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.

    Overview of OpenAI crawlers, OpenAIReport an issue with this check

  • Search engines may list each pageCriticalPass

    Page isn’t blocked from indexing 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.

  • Your pages are listed in a sitemapImportantPass

    https://www.thehiveiowa.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.

  • Every page has its own titleImportantPass

    Document has a <title> element 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.

  • Each page has one clear addressImportantPass

    All 2 audits in this goal pass. Google uses one canonical address per page, and uses hreflang to send searchers to the version of the page in their language.
