After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; No structured data for the business; Ordering through an unrecognised third party), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 17th of 348 in Victoria, up from 325th.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points

    A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it

  2. No structured data for the business +14 points

    Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  3. Ordering through an unrecognised third party +9 points

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