Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

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

  2. Menu or price list lives on another site +5 points

    The link points to foodbooking.com, so the credit and the traffic go there. How to fix it

  3. Booking only through opentable +5 points

    Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. How to fix it About this vendor

  4. GloriaFood's terms bar bots and automated use; a direct form on your own site has no such limit +5 points

    GloriaFood's terms of use (6 February 2024, Oracle) say you agree not to use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means without written permission; GloriaFood reaches end of life on 30 April 2027. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.gloriafood.com/terms-of-use. An agent that books or orders there acts outside the vendor's terms unless the vendor permits it; a form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. How to fix it About this vendor

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

    Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

  6. No llms.txt no points, still worth doing

    Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
