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. 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 for a restaurant. It is the one block every assistant reads first. How to fix it

  2. 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

  3. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User +10 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

  4. Menu is a PDF +3 points

    Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish the menu as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

  5. 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

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.
