After the top fixes

With the two fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended), the score would be about 100%, which would be first of 1,159 in Nashville.

Findings

What to fix first

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

    Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) 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

  2. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended +3.7 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

  3. Booking through an unrecognised third party no points, but worth doing

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

  4. 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
