What this means for your shop

  • Only 25% of audited sites have an llms.txt file, so adding one is a quick step most competitors have not taken.

  • Just 50% of audited sites run analytics, so many owners cannot see where their website visitors come from.

  • Four businesses have under 50 reviews while the median is 109, so asking happy customers for a review is the clearest gap to close.
