The climb
With the three fixes above (The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included; No structured data for the business; Menu or price list is a PDF) the score would be about 87.7%: 38th of 504 in Ottawa, up from 432nd.
Peers are the businesses of the same index with a reachable site, latest scan of each; the rank uses the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included +25 points
A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it
- No structured data for the business +14 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
- Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points
Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

Already right
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- Booking through opentable on your own domain No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- OpenTable works with agents 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 may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
