Findings

What to fix first

  1. No structured data for the business +15 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

  2. 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

  3. Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points

    Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. 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

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • Booking through resdiary on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • ResDiary works with agents through its partners ResDiary's consumer terms bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automatic means of access except as expressly authorised by ResDiary; Google names ResDiary as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.resdiary.com/old/Terms. 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.
