Recente

What to fix first

1. 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

2. Booking only through resy +12 points

   Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. How to fix it About this vendor

3. 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

4. Almost no text without JavaScript +2 points

   Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. How to fix it

5. 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
