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.
Since the scan of 2026-10-14: no change in the findings.
What to fix first
- No booking or ordering path at all +15 points
Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. How to fix it
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Live fetches as GPTBot (challenge:attention required), ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required), PerplexityBot (challenge:attention required) 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
- Structured data is incomplete +7 points
Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it
- No menu or price list found +7 points
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
- robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Perplexity-User +5 points
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
- No llms.txt no points, still worth doing
Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
