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. Structured data is incomplete +5 points

    Missing: telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  2. 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

  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. 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

Peers are the businesses of the same index with a reachable site, latest scan of each; the rank uses the index's current ranking.
