After the top fixes

With the fix above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included), the score would be about 100%, which would be first of 801 in Houston cafes and bars.

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.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points

    A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it

  2. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows +13137407218, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +18326236146. 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.

  • Structured data found (Restaurant) address, phone, opening hours
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Booking on your own site Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
  • Ordering on your own site Agents can order without going through a marketplace.

Builder: owner · A plain fetch got cloudflare_challenge; a real browser got the page, so the scan continues on the rendered page.
