Shish Mahal

What to fix first

1. No structured data for the business +14 points

   Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

2. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points

   Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) 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

3. Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points

   Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

No one is listed yet to fix this in Glasgow. 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.
• Booking through dojo on your own domain No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
• Ordering on your own site Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
