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.

Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (D then): fixed No booking or ordering path at all.

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 menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. How to fix it

  2. Structured data is incomplete +5 points

    Missing: address, opening hours. How to fix it

  3. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, Google-Extended +2.5 points

    These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. 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.
