## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_429), PerplexityBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
