After the top fixes

With the two fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; No structured data for the business), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 18th of 1,551 in Vancouver, up from 1220th.

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 (origin_timeout). 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. No structured data for the business +14 points

    Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

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

    The site shows +1%20604-370-0956, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +16045659983. 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.

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
  • Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Ordering on your own site Agents can order without going through a marketplace.

Builder: unknown · Front: cloudflare · A plain fetch got origin_timeout; a real browser got the page, so the scan continues on the rendered page.
