Findings

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. Menu or price list lives on another site +5 points

    The link points to orderbuddy.net.au, so the credit and the traffic go there. How to fix it

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

    Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. How to fix it

  4. 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
