Franco's Pizza is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants can't open Franco's Pizza's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (challenge:checking your browser). 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 716-877-2720, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (718) 284-6520. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **110 prices on the landing page, the middle one $10.19.** In New York, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $14.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering through doordash_storefront on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
