Alley 16

What to fix first

1. Booking only through opentable +12 points

   Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. How to fix it About this vendor

2. No menu or price list found +7 points

   Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. How to fix it

3. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

   Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

4. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points

   Live fetches as 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

Already right

• robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
• Structured data present (Organization) but without address, phone or hours
• OpenTable lets agents act only through its partners OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Read 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
