After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; Structured data is incomplete; No menu or price list found), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 27th of 827 in New Orleans, up from 478th.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points

    Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (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. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  3. No menu or price list found +7 points

    Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. How to fix it

  4. 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
