things to fix
Action test, 2026-10-14: partial, a path exists but an agent would struggle. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.
Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.
What to fix first
- 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
- Ordering only through ubereats no points, still worth doing
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
