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. Almost no text without JavaScript

    Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. How to fix it

  2. No structured data for the business

    Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type) with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations for a restaurant. It is the one block every assistant reads first. How to fix it

  3. No menu or price list found

    Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. How to fix it

  4. No booking or ordering path at all

    Only a phone number or WhatsApp. Agents cannot act on those yet. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it

  5. No llms.txt

    Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it

Assistants

What assistants answer

Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.

Fixed something, or think a check is wrong? Rescans are free. Claiming takes one email to confirm; after that the three assistants are asked about the business right away, the site is rescanned weekly, and you get a message only when the score changes.
