61.2/100 — advocacy readiness(reduced confidence: parts of the evidence were unobservable — see below)

Graded because the reader classified enough of this site to trust the measurement. For scale: of the 350 companies in this corpus, only 126 earned a grade — for the rest I withheld it rather than grade a site the reader could not read.

Read this before the numbers

This tool was built in a few days, on a stack of stated assumptions. I didn't have the time — or the inside knowledge of what buyers in this category actually optimize for — to be certain these are the metrics that matter most. The four categories and their weights are editorial judgment, not measurement: nobody has proven that these things cause employees to post, and I don't claim otherwise.

Where the evidence comes from: three of the four categories read only what your company has published on its own public site — the part you can fix on Monday. Half of Employee & Culture comes from somewhere else: aggregate counts of how many of your people posted in the last 90 days, from a licensed third-party index of public professional-network activity. Nothing here was scraped from LinkedIn by this tool. Those counts are records in an index, not a census — they undercount, they undercount small companies most, and you can't check them yourself — so each one says so where it appears, a zero is reported as "none in the index" and never as "nobody posts," and a company with fewer than 25 people in the index gets the number reported but not scored. No individual is named anywhere in this report.

To prioritize speed, this particular report was loaded using cached data; it was generated from evidence originally collected on August 31, 2026 rather than live. Reports are cached for 30 days. Every observation below is dated and cited.

What you can hold me to: every number cites its evidence and says where it came from, nothing unseen is guessed at, robots.txt is respected on every fetch, and when this tool can't read a site it says so instead of issuing a grade.

What was found — most fixable first

Ranked by impact × ease of fixing, not by category. Counts describe the pages actually read, and each finding cites them.

Issue

Your Content-Signal grants what your robots.txt forbids

robots.txt declares a Content-Signal that grants a use requiring the site to be read, while disallowing AI user-agents of exactly the kind that grant depends on: Amazonbot. A machine reading your policy gets two opposite answers.

Evidence: robots.txt.

The fix: Decide which statement is the policy and make the other match: either remove the disallow lines for the agent kinds the signal grants, or narrow the Content-Signal to the uses you actually permit.

Opportunity

9 AI user-agents are blocked at your site root

robots.txt disallows 9 of 25 tracked AI user-agents at the root: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Amazonbot, meta-externalagent, CCBot, Bytespider, CloudflareBrowserRenderingCrawler. The list exactly matches Cloudflare’s one-click "block AI bots" default, which often means a toggle was flipped rather than a policy decided. This is a tradeoff, not a mistake: blocking protects content from training use, and costs visibility in AI search and assistants that cite sources. robots.txt is advisory, so this describes your declared policy, not enforcement.

Evidence: robots.txt.

The fix: Confirm the block is a decision rather than a default. If AI answer engines matter to how buyers and candidates find you, consider allowing search- and user-fetch-kind agents while keeping training bots blocked — the two can be set independently.

Issue

0 of 24 sampled pages carry a visible share control

None of the 24 content pages sampled carry a visible share control. Nothing on the page invites a reader — or an employee — to share it.

The fix: Add share links or buttons to the content template. Plain links to the platform share endpoints work without any tracking script.

Issue

0 of 24 sampled pages carry Article structured data

None of the 24 content pages sampled carry Article structured data. Machine readers cannot tell these pages are articles, or when they were published, or by whom.

  • … and 16 more in the sample

The fix: Emit Article (or BlogPosting) JSON-LD with headline, datePublished and author in the content template.

Issue

0 of 24 sampled pages name a human author

None of the 24 sampled content pages carry a named human author — no byline, no author schema, no rel=author. Content nobody signs is content nobody feels ownership of; advocacy runs on employees being visible in the work.

Evidence: content page sample — 0 of 24 sampled pages.

The fix: Add author bylines to content pages — a name, ideally with a link or an author block in the Article schema. Start with new posts; backfilling can wait.

Opportunity

No culture or life-at pages anywhere in your sitemap

Of 984 canonical URLs, zero classify as culture content — no life-at pages, employee stories, or team spotlights. This is the most common gap this tool finds, and the most directly advocacy-shaped one: it is the content employees share proudest and first. Your people's own posting is scored separately, below.

Evidence: sitemap URL classification.

The fix: Start small: one employee-story post a month, indexed in the sitemap. The section can grow from there.

What's already working

Working

Your homepage share card is complete

The homepage carries og:title, og:description and og:image, so a shared homepage link renders a full preview card.

Evidence: homepage HTML.

What could not be seen

Anything the reader could not observe is listed here rather than guessed at or silently skipped.

Not visible

Content freshness is not observable here

Your sitemap publishes lastmod dates, but they look machine-generated rather than edit history (51.5% of all lastmod values fall on a single day (2026-06-03), which is the signature of a site-wide rebuild rather than individual edits.; The entire inventory's lastmod range spans only 106 days, which is implausibly short for 1136 pages and suggests the dates were regenerated.), so I cannot read them as freshness and have not guessed.

Evidence: sitemap lastmod analysis.

The fix: Emit real last-modified dates in the sitemap. Credible freshness data helps every machine reader — search, AI, and tools like this one — represent you accurately.

For the record

Note

llms.txt is present

An llms.txt file is served. Reported for completeness: Google has said it does not support llms.txt, no major AI vendor has confirmed consuming it, and large-scale studies found no correlation with AI citations. I record it and weight it at zero.

Evidence: llms.txt fetch.

How the numbers break down

Weights: Content Supply 30% · Shareability 25% · Employee & Culture 25% (half what the site says, half what employees do) · AI Discoverability 20%. The weights are editorial judgment about what an advocacy program draws on — not the result of a study. Every row cites the observation behind it and says whether it was read from your site or from the licensed index.

Content Supply — 78/100 (reduced confidence)

Recency was not scored: this site publishes lastmod dates, but they look machine-generated rather than edit history, so they cannot be read as freshness.

A qualitative read of the careers page (boilerplate vs. real human stories) is not included in this number.

Half of this category is measured from employee posting activity in a licensed third-party index (180 of 267 employees covered). Those counts are records in a third-party index, a lower bound the visitor cannot verify independently; the other half is what the website itself shows.

AI Discoverability — 50.3/100

llms.txt0/0Present. Scored at zero weight deliberately: Google has said it does not support llms.txt, no major AI vendor has confirmed consuming it, and large-scale studies found no correlation with AI citations.

robots.txt compliance is voluntary and advisory. This reports the declared policy; it is not a claim that any crawler was actually blocked.

The blocked-agent list exactly matches Cloudflare’s one-click "block AI bots" default, which often means a toggle was flipped rather than a policy decided.
