Findings

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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  2. Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points

    Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. How to fix it

  3. 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. How to fix it

  4. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 1-25-388-4222, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +1 250 388-4222. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Booking through tock on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • Tock works with agents through its partners Tock's terms (12 February 2026) prohibit robots, scripts, scrapers and automated systems except software expressly licensed by Tock; Google names Tock as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
