The website's grade
Some AI assistants are turned away by Ciao Bella's website. What Ciao Bella offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

After the top fixes
With the three fixes above (Booking only through opentable; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 85.1%. That would be 68th of 548 in Hamilton, up from 381st.
What to fix first
- Booking only through opentable +12 points
Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor
- 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
- Structured data is incomplete +6 points
Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it
- robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended +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. How to fix it
- 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
- 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

Already right
- Structured data found (Organization) no address, phone or hours in it
- OpenTable works with agents through its partners OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
