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.
What to fix first
- 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 for a restaurant. It is the one block every assistant reads first. How to fix it
- No booking or ordering path at all +13 points
Only a phone number or WhatsApp. Agents cannot act on those yet. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it
- No menu or price list found +7 points
Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. How to fix it
- 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
No one is listed yet to fix this in Vancouver. List your agency or yourself: free, reviewed by hand.
