After the top fixes
With the three fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; Structured data is incomplete; Booking only through eventbrite), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 2nd of 402 in New Orleans cafes and bars, up from 138th.
What to fix first
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) 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
- Structured data is incomplete +7 points
Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it
- Booking only through eventbrite +5 points
Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor
- 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

Already right
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- Structured data found (Organization) no address, phone or hours in it
- Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
- Ordering through toast on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- Toast works with agents through its partners Toast's guest terms could not be read on 2026-10-15 (bot challenge); since August 2026 Google's Ask Maps completes orders at Toast restaurants through Toast Local under the UCP for Food standard. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.digitaltransactions.net/square-toast-jump-into-ai-boosted-google-maps/. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
