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.
Since the scan of 2026-10-14: no change in the findings.
What to fix first
- No structured data for the business
Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type) with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations for a restaurant. It is the one block every assistant reads first. How to fix it
- Menu is a PDF
Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish the menu as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it
- Booking through an unrecognised third party
Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. How to fix it
- No llms.txt
Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it

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.
