  1. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  2. No menu or price list found +7 points

    Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. 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

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 (Organization) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Booking through resdiary on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • ResDiary works with agents through its partners ResDiary's consumer terms bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automatic means of access except as expressly authorised by ResDiary; Google names ResDiary as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.resdiary.com/old/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.
