## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through resy.** (+9 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Diner Bar",
  "url": "https://thedinerbar.com/",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Queens Boulevard 97-45",
    "postalCode": "11374"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 40.7294075,
    "longitude": -73.8594506
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://thedinerbar.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Boozy-Brunch-1107.pdf"
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
