## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_429), PerplexityBot (http_429) 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **20 prices on the landing page, the middle one £9.95.**
