After the top fixes
With the fix above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door), the score would be about 92.3%. That would be 19th of 470 in Boston cafes and bars, up from 72nd.
Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) 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
- The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data
The site shows +16033294334, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (617) 936-3963. 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.
