things to fix

Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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

  2. ChowNow's terms do not allow agents; a direct form on your own site would +5 points

    ChowNow's customer terms (8 September 2025) say you will not use automated means, including spiders, robots, crawlers or data mining tools, except search engines; no agent programme was found. Read 2026-10-15: https://get.chownow.com/terms-of-service. An agent that books or orders there acts against the vendor's terms; a form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. How to fix it About this vendor

  3. No llms.txt no points, still worth doing

    Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
