The climb
With the two fixes above (No booking or ordering link on the website; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door) the score would be about 100%: first of 698 in Dubai cafes and bars.
Peers are the businesses of the same index with a reachable site, latest scan of each; the rank uses the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- No booking or ordering link on the website +13 points
Only a phone number or WhatsApp, which agents cannot use yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Live fetches as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied), PerplexityBot (challenge:access denied) 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
Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
- The phone on the site is not the one the open data lists
The site shows +97143165555; OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +97143165550. An assistant that sees two different numbers does not know which to trust. Correct the wrong one: the site, or the map data at openstreetmap.org.
