The website's grade

Some AI assistants are turned away by Aubergine's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. No booking or ordering link on the website +13 points

    There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it

  2. No menu or price list found +7 points

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

  3. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Requests as GPTBot (http_406), ClaudeBot (http_406) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

  4. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: address, telephone. How to fix it

  5. No llms.txt no points, but worth doing

    Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it

  6. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 0771358661, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +40 21 313 7548. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.
