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 +6 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  3. Booking only through resy +5 points

    Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor

  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

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

    The site shows 1-310-659-9949, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (212) 921-3330. 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.

Already right

  • AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
  • Structured data found (Restaurant) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Ordering through chownow on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
