Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Canadiana Restaurant and Banquet Hall is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Canadiana Restaurant and Banquet Hall. It can read what Canadiana Restaurant and Banquet Hall offers. It finds no link to book or order online, only a phone number.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://canadianarest.com/menu/
- Phone: +1-416-239-1114

## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) Only a phone number or WhatsApp, which agents cannot use yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot.** (+5 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
