Report: https://directindex.org/r/charlottefigtree.com
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.)
The Fig Tree Restaurant is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of The Fig Tree Restaurant. It can read what The Fig Tree Restaurant offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://charlottefigtree.com/reservations/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://charlottefigtree.com/menu/
- Phone: 704-332-3322

## What to fix first
- **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
- **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.
