Findings

What to fix first

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

    Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (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

  2. Ordering only through grubhub no points, but worth doing

    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

  3. 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

Send the fixes to your web person

One email with the fixes and the link. Nothing is stored.

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • Structured data found (Restaurant) address, phone, opening hours
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Booking on your own site Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
