Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page.

Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (no points, but worth doing) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record.
