After the top fixes
With the two fixes above (Booking only through opentable; No working HTTPS), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 43rd of 1,138 in Charlotte, up from 199th.
Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- Booking only through opentable +5 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
- No working HTTPS +3 points
The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse 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
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- Structured data found (FoodEstablishment) address, phone, opening hours
- Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
- Ordering through toast on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- Toast works with agents through its partners Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. 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.
