things to fix
Action test, 2026-11-12: partial, there's a path, but an agent would have trouble with it. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.
Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.
What assistants answer

After the top fixes
With the three fixes above (No menu or price list found; robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 86.3%. That would be 6th of 153 in Hamilton cafes and bars, up from 46th.
What to fix first
- No menu or price list found +7 points
Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. How to fix it
- robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User +6.2 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
- Structured data is incomplete +6 points
Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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
- The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data
The site shows 19055259140,22003, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +19055259140. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.
