things to fix
Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.
Since the scan of 2026-10-14: no change in the findings.
What to fix first
- No structured data for the business +15 points
Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it
- No booking or ordering path at all +15 points
Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. How to fix it
- No menu or price list found +7 points
Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. How to fix it
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points
Live fetches as PerplexityBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it
- robots.txt blocks ClaudeBot, Google-Extended +2.5 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
- Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points
Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. How to fix it
- No llms.txt no points, still worth doing
Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
