## What to fix first
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+12 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. 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.
