Findings

What to fix first

  1. Booking only through resy +9 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

  2. Ordering through an unrecognised third party +9 points

    Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it

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

    Requests as GPTBot (challenge:attention required), ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required) 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

  4. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

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

  5. No working HTTPS +3 points

    The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.

  6. 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
