    The State of Australian Small Business Websites 2026

    Two in three Australian small business websites take more than a second to start responding, one in five has no structured data at all, one in eleven blocks the crawlers that AI engines use to read the web, and one in eight makes a "best", "leading" or "number one" claim about itself on its homepage.
