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.
What to fix first
- No structured data for the business +15 points
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
- No booking or ordering path at all +15 points
Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. How to fix it
- robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User +10 points
These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. How to fix it
- 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
- Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points
Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. How to fix it
- No llms.txt no points, still worth doing
Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it

Already right
- AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.

Can an agent transact?
Measured, not scored: the Agent-Direct Score stays at specification v1.0. This says which rails an agent could transact through today, and what the booking or ordering vendor's terms allow.
| UCP profile /.well-known/ucp, Google and Shopify's Universal Commerce Protocol | not measured |
| ACP discovery document /.well-known/acp.json, OpenAI and Stripe's Agentic Commerce Protocol | not measured |

Not measured at this scan; the next scan measures it.
The next scan also reads the contact, menu and booking pages one hop deeper; facts found there can change the score.
