Findings

What to fix first

  1. No menu or price list found +7 points

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

  2. Structured data is incomplete +1 points

    Missing: telephone. How to fix it

  3. 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

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

    The site shows (615)%20988-7333, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +16159887333. 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.
