After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; Booking only through thefork; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 3rd of 385 in Basel, up from 319th.

Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points

    A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it

  2. Booking only through thefork +12 points

    Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor

  3. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
  • Structured data found (LocalBusiness) address, phone
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • TheFork works with agents through its partners TheFork's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; TheFork integrated OpenAI's Operator agent for UK bookings in February 2025 and is a named Google AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://itbrief.co.uk/story/thefork-integrates-openai-s-operator-for-uk-bookings. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.

Builder: wix · A plain fetch got cloudflare_challenge; a real browser got the page, so the scan continues on the rendered page.
