Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  2. Clover's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit +5 points

    Clover's consumer app terms (8 June 2023, section 3.5), linked from its online ordering pages, bar any deep-link, robot, spider or other device or process to access, copy or monitor the site or app, and bar the use of buying agents; no agent programme was found. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.clover.com/consumer/terms. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. A form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. How to fix it About this vendor

  3. No llms.txt no points, but worth doing

    Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it
