Why an assistant sends people elsewhere

2026-10-27 Gemini sent users to TheFork for booking because the server turns AI crawlers away at the door, and it gave no link for ordering because the scan found no way to order on the site.

A model wrote this from the stored answers and the scan's facts, and nothing else. The answers themselves are quoted below, under "What assistants answer".

After the top fixes

With the two fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; Menu or price list is a PDF), the score would be about 92.1%. That would be 2nd of 131 in Funchal, up from 15th.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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

  2. Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points

    Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

  3. No llms.txt no points, but worth doing

    Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it
