Findings

What to fix first

  1. No structured data for the business +14 points

    Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  2. No booking or ordering link on the website +13 points

    There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it

  3. 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

  4. 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
