After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; Booking only through opentable; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 100%, which would be first of 11,000 in New York.

Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.

Findings

What to fix first

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

    Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429) 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. Booking only through opentable +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

  3. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

  4. 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

  5. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows +18483595989, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 9173495098. 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.

Send the fixes to your web person

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • Structured data found (FoodEstablishment) address, phone
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Ordering through sauce on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
