After the top fixes
With the two fixes above (Booking only through opentable; Menu or price list is a PDF), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 40th of 3,067 in Melbourne cafes and bars, up from 869th.
Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- Booking only through opentable +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. How to fix it About this vendor
- Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points
Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it
- The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data
The site shows + +18008000000, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +61395104050. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

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 (Restaurant) address, phone, opening hours
- OpenTable works with agents through its partners OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-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.
