Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. How to fix it

  2. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

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

  3. 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

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

    The site shows 01384 441 642, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 01212701469. 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.

Already right

  • Structured data found (Organization) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Booking on your own site Agents can book without going through a marketplace.

Builder: shopify · A plain fetch got cloudflare_challenge; a real browser got the page, so the scan continues on the rendered page.
