The 6 signals AI reads
Higher is better · 0-10
Structured Data
6
Restaurant schema present with location, contact, and geo data for both locations, but missing AggregateRating, Review, OpeningHoursSpecification, and Menu schema that would significantly enhance AI understanding.
Content Structure
5
Meta description is strong and comprehensive, but H1 tags are poorly structured (multiple location addresses as H1s instead of page title), H2 hierarchy is weak, and no FAQ section exists despite being ideal for restaurant AEO.
Entity Clarity
7
Business name, type (restaurant), and both locations with complete NAP information are clearly stated, but no founder/owner attribution, unique story, or differentiation beyond menu items weakens entity recognition.
E-E-A-T Signals
Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust
4
Yelp reviews mentioned but not integrated into schema, no testimonials, credentials, awards, or about/team page visible; social proof is referenced but not leveraged for AI consumption.
Technical AEO
8
Sitemap.xml present, robots.txt allows crawlers, meta description optimized, but llms.txt is completely absent—a critical miss for modern AI indexing compliance.
AI Discoverability
3
No llms.txt file exists, sameAs social links missing from JSON-LD, no FAQPage schema, and no structured review/rating data limits discoverability in AI-generated responses.
