After the top fixes
With the three fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; Structured data is incomplete; No menu or price list found), the score would be about 95.4%, which would be first of 143 in Durban cafes and bars.
What to fix first
- The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points
A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. 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 page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. How to fix it
