thing to fix
Action test, 2026-10-14: partial, a path exists but an agent would struggle. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.
Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.
What to fix first
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points
Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) 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
No one is listed yet to fix this in Edinburgh cafes and bars. List your agency or yourself: free, reviewed by hand.
Already right
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- Structured data present (Restaurant) address, phone, opening hours
- Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read items and prices directly.
- Booking on your own site Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.

What assistants answer
Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.
Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
