After the top fixes
With the two fixes above (No structured data for the business; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 17th of 573 in St. Louis, up from 225th.
What to fix first
- 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
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_429) 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
- 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
