Findings

What to fix first

  1. No structured data for the business +15 points

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

  2. No booking or ordering link on the website +15 points

    Agents find no link to follow on the site. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. How to fix it

  3. No menu or price list found +7 points

    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. Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points

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

  5. 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
