things to fix
Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.
Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it
Only a phone number or WhatsApp. Agents cannot act on those yet. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it
Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it
Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
No one is listed yet to fix this in Boston. List your agency or yourself: free, reviewed by hand.

Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.
Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
Owners who score well embed the badge; it links back here and updates with every scan.
