## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
