things to fix
Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.
What to fix first
- No working HTTPS
The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it.
- Structured data is incomplete
Missing: telephone, opening hours. How to fix it
- No llms.txt
Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
No one is listed yet to fix this in Boston. List your agency or yourself: free, reviewed by hand.
Already right
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- Structured data present (LocalBusiness) address
- Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read items and prices directly.
- Booking on your own site Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
- Ordering through toast on your own domain No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.

What assistants answer
Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.
Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
Show the score
Owners who score well embed the badge; it links back here and updates with every scan.
