Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

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

  2. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points

    Requests as GPTBot (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. 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.
  • Structured data found (Organization) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • Ordering through square on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • SevenRooms works with agents through its partners SevenRooms' terms (17 April 2026) bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means except bona fide search engines; Google names SevenRooms as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. 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.
