## What to fix first
- **Booking only through quandoo.** (+12 points) 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Quandoo's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+12 points) Quandoo's end-user terms (London, May 2018, section 3.3.1) bar robots, spiders, scrapers or any other automated means of access to the website for any purpose; the operator, Quandoo UK Limited, is in members' voluntary liquidation and the German company is in liquidation too. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.quandoo.co.uk/terms-conditions. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. A form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 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
