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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it
- No booking or ordering link on the website +15 points
There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. 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 on your own domain. How to fix it
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied), PerplexityBot (challenge:access denied) 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
- 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
- Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points
Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. How to fix it
