Charly's Burgers is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://charlysburgerschicago.square.site/s/order#most-popular (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://charlysburgers.com/menu
- Phone: +1-773-887-5481

## What to fix first
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User.** (+3.7 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

robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers.

```
# Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them.
# Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.
