After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (No structured data for the business; Booking only through quandoo; Quandoo's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit), the score would be about 100%, which would be first of 367 in Gold Coast cafes and bars.

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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  2. Booking only through quandoo +12 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

  3. Quandoo's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit +12 points

    Quandoo's end-user terms (London, May 2018, section 3.3.1) bar robots, spiders, scrapers or any other automated means of access to the website for any purpose; the operator, Quandoo UK Limited, is in members' voluntary liquidation and the German company is in liquidation too. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.quandoo.co.uk/terms-conditions. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. A form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. How to fix it About this vendor

  4. 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

  5. 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
