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. Menu or price list lives on another site +5 points

    The link points to orderexperience.net, so the credit and the traffic go there. How to fix it

  2. Booking only through opentable +5 points

    Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. How to fix it About this vendor

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

    BentoBox's terms of service (5 January 2023) 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://getbento.com/terms. 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

  4. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

  5. 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
