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.
What to fix first
- No structured data for the business +15 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it
- No booking or ordering path at all +15 points
Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. How to fix it
- Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points
Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it
- 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

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.
