After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (No structured data for the business; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 29th of 873 in Baltimore, up from 467th.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. How to fix it

  2. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (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

  3. 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

  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

  5. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 4103561666, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (410) 685-5588. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.
