things to fix

Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. No menu or price list found +7 points

    Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. How to fix it

  2. Structured data is incomplete +5 points

    Missing: telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  3. 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

The climb

Peers are the businesses of the same index with a reachable site, latest scan of each; the rank uses the index's current ranking.

Assistants

What assistants answer

Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.

Owners

Own this business?

Transactable

Can an agent transact?

Measured, not scored: the Agent-Direct Score stays at specification v1.0. This says which rails an agent could transact through today, and what the booking or ordering vendor's terms allow.

Not measured at this scan; the next scan measures it.

The next scan also reads the contact, menu and booking pages one hop deeper; facts found there can change the score.

Agent readiness

Level 1 of 5, Basic Web Presence

The standards an agent looks for before it reads a page, on the same criteria as Cloudflare's Agent Readiness scan. Not part of the score; each missing item links to a how-to. Cloudflare's report.
