Findings

What to fix first

  1. No structured data for the business +14 points

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

  2. Booking through an unrecognised third party +9 points

    Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it

  3. Menu or price list is on another site +5 points

    The link goes to menuly.co.nz, so that site gets the credit and the visits. 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

  5. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 033600996, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +64 3 356 3500. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.
