- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## 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.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **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.
