What to fix first
- No booking or ordering link on the website +13 points
Only a phone number or WhatsApp, which agents cannot use yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points
Live fetches as ClaudeBot (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
