## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Nova",
  "url": "http://www.novadallas.com/",
  "telephone": "+12144847123",
  "address": "1417 W Davis St, 75208-5347, Dallas",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 32.74973719,
    "longitude": -96.84489793
  },
  "potentialAction": [

          "http://schema.org/MobileWebPlatform"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
</script>
```
