Findings

What to fix first

  1. No structured data for the business +14 points

    Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  2. Booking through an unrecognised third party +9 points

    Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. How to fix it

  3. No working HTTPS +3 points

    The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it.

  4. 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. How to fix it

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