- Several entries marked Live returned bot-check 403 responses, with add-a-business and claim paths listed as unknown.
Field notes
Rows expose more than a simple up/down result: HTTP responses sit beside add-a-business and claim-path checks, with “Unknown” used when those paths could not be established. Market filters cover the US and Canada, and a “Problems first” control brings dead, parked, and redirecting entries forward. The snapshot shows 60 of 68 entries marked Live, though some of those returned bot-check responses.
