  2. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

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

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.
