After the top fixes
With the fix above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included), the score would be about 100%, which would be first of 873 in Baltimore.
What to fix first
- The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points
A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it
- Booking only through opentable no points, but worth doing
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. How to fix it About this vendor

Already right
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- Structured data found (Restaurant) address, phone, opening hours
- Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
- Ordering on your own site Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
Builder: owner · A plain fetch got cloudflare_challenge; a real browser got the page, so the scan continues on the rendered page.
