thing to fix
Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.
What to fix first
- No structured data for the business
Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type) with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations for a restaurant. It is the one block every assistant reads first. How to fix it
No one is listed yet to fix this in Edinburgh cafes and bars. List your agency or yourself: free, reviewed by hand.
Already right

- Menu or price list is an HTML page Agents can read items and prices directly.
- Booking on your own site Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.

What assistants answer
Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.
Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
