## What to fix first
- **Booking only through thefork.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (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. 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
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Lyon, 25% of comparable sites declare one.

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Le Corner",
  "url": "https://www.le-corner-lyon.com/",
  "telephone": "+33437576538",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 45.7543756,
    "longitude": 4.8310001
  },

## About

```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **TheFork works with agents through its partners.** TheFork's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; TheFork integrated OpenAI's Operator agent for UK bookings in February 2025 and is a named Google AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://itbrief.co.uk/story/thefork-integrates-openai-s-operator-for-uk-bookings. 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.
