things to fix

Action test, 2026-10-14: failed, an agent cannot act here. The page has nothing an agent can act on.

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

Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

  2. Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points

    Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

  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

Assistants

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.
