What to fix first
- Booking only through opentable +12 points
Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. How to fix it About this vendor
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Live fetches as GPTBot (cloudflare_challenge), 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
- No llms.txt no points, still worth doing

Already right
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- Structured data present (Restaurant) address, phone, opening hours
- Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read items and prices directly.
- OpenTable works with agents through its partners OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Read 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
