Site: https://www.chezfranklin.fr
Report: https://directindex.org/r/chezfranklin.fr
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Chez Franklin is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Chez Franklin's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.covermanager.com/reservation/module_restaurant/restaurante-chezfranklin/french# (through covermanager acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.chezfranklin.fr/menus
- Phone: +33 2 51 82 35 20

## What to fix first
- Prices: 5 prices on the site, the middle one €5.50

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Nantes, 9.6% of comparable sites declare one.
- **5 prices on the landing page, the middle one €5.50.** 

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

## Already right

- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through covermanager on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
