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. No structured data for the business +15 points

    Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  2. Menu or price list is an image +6 points

    Agents cannot read it. Publish it as text. How to fix it

  3. Booking only through resy +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

  4. 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
