Findings

What to fix first

  1. Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points

    Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

  2. Ordering only through deliveroo no points, but worth doing

    Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor

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

    The site shows +441162230123, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 0121 820 7522. 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.
