Findings

What to fix first

  1. No booking or ordering link on the website +13 points

    There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it

  2. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

  3. Menu or price list is a PDF +3 points

    Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. How to fix it

  4. 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
