things to fix

Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User

    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

  2. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door

    Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

  3. Structured data is incomplete

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  4. No menu or price list found

    Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. How to fix it

  5. No booking or ordering path at all

    Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. How to fix it

  6. No llms.txt

    Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it

Assistants

What assistants answer

Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.

Fixed something, or think a check is wrong? Rescans are free. Claiming takes one email to confirm; after that the three assistants are asked about the business right away, the site is rescanned weekly, and you get a message only when the score changes.
