Findings

  1. Booking only through resy +5 points

  2. 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

  3. Structured data is incomplete +2 points

    Missing: telephone. How to fix it

  4. No llms.txt no points, still worth doing
