Assistants

Findings

What to fix first

  1. The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included +25 points

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

  2. No structured data for the business +15 points

    Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  3. Ordering only through ubereats +12 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. Menu or price list lives on another site +5 points

    The link points to bluebottlecoffee.co.jp, so the credit and the traffic go there. How to fix it
