Understand what Bookwise publishes—and what you can do to make it more useful.

One published profile, several ways to discover it

SurfaceWhat it provides
Public booking pageReadable business details, offerings, policies and a booking path
Schema.org JSON-LDStructured business, location, offering and reservation information
Business llms.txtA plain-text summary with prices, hours, policies and booking links
Bookwise directory MCPSearch tools for published businesses and live availability
Sitemap and crawler accessPublic URLs that search engines and agents can discover

These are different access paths. Crawling a page does not give an assistant permission to access owner tools or private customer bookings. A tool-capable assistant must be configured to use the MCP endpoint.

Write for the person choosing your business

  • Explain what you offer, where you are, who it suits and what makes it distinct.
  • Keep name, address, phone number, opening hours and website links consistent.
  • Describe capacity, amenities, accessibility and service duration with specific facts.
  • Keep prices, policies and real photographs current. Republish reviewed changes.
  • Correct inaccuracies in your website and relevant business listings, not just in one AI answer.

Google recommends helpful, reliable content created for people. Structured business data can describe hours and other facts, but does not guarantee a special search appearance. See Google's helpful-content guidance and LocalBusiness structured data.

Use live tools for live questions

A published page can explain an offering and its base price. It cannot promise that a specific room or appointment is still free. Agents should call check_availability and get_quote for the exact request, then create_hold when the customer wants to proceed.

Directory search considers the published text and location, with semantic matching when configured. Current search results are not sponsored. search_available_businesses checks live options among the top ten matching candidates; it does not exhaustively scan every business.

Measure, correct, repeat

The visibility area helps owners inspect sampled AI answers, mentions, factual accuracy and a practical profile checklist. Treat those observations as evidence from the queries that were run, not a universal ranking across every model and user.
