Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  2. 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

  3. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Live fetches as ClaudeBot (cloudflare_challenge), PerplexityBot (cloudflare_challenge) 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

  4. 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
