Findings

What to fix first

  1. No booking or ordering link on the website +15 points

    There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. How to fix it

  2. Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points

    Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. How to fix it

  3. Structured data is incomplete +2 points

    Missing: telephone. How to fix it

  4. No llms.txt no points, but worth doing

    Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it
