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. 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

  3. Ordering through an unrecognised third party no points, but worth doing

    Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it

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

    The site shows %20012%20342%209081, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +27123429081. 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.
