Findings

What to fix first

  1. Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points

    Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

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

    The site shows +35391569633, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +35391864810. 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.
