Regarding technical access, 6 reachable sites turn at least one AI crawler away at the edge, which is 19% of the reachable sites, while 2 sites block an AI crawler in robots.txt. For content and services, a menu or price list is on the page itself for 1 site, exists as an HTML page on 6, and is absent on 25, while direct booking or ordering on the business's own domain is available on 13 sites, which is 41% of the reachable sites, with 12 on the business's own site, 1 through a vendor on the business's own site, 7 only through a marketplace, 2 through an unrecognised third party, and 10 offering no booking or ordering path.

 Method

## How this page is made

Every business of the index's kind with a website of its own is scanned the same way, about once a month, and every scan is kept. This page takes the latest scan of each site before October 2026 ended, so a site fixed in the following month shows up in the following month's page, not here. A past month does not change. The assistant tables use the latest answer per business and question before the month ended.
