thing 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 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
No one is listed yet to fix this in New York. List your agency or yourself: free, reviewed by hand.
Already right
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- Structured data present (Restaurant) address, phone, opening hours
- Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read items and prices directly.
- Booking through opentable on your own domain No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- Ordering through toast on your own domain No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- 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.
