things to fix

Action test, 2026-11-13: partial, there's a path, but an agent would have trouble with it. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.

Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: address, telephone. How to fix it

  2. 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

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

    The site shows (816) 216-7181, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +18165612626. 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.
