What to do, in order

Your 5 fixes

The easiest fixes with the biggest likely payoff come first.

  1. Let AI assistants read your website

    Where
    copperkettle.example/robots.txt (ask whoever manages your website)
    What
    Ask your web person to remove the “Disallow: /” rules for ChatGPT search, OpenAI (ChatGPT) crawler.
    Why
    We read your robots.txt file on the check date and it blocks ChatGPT search, OpenAI (ChatGPT) crawler.
    Re-check
    Open copperkettle.example/robots.txt after the change and confirm those blocks are gone.

  2. Add the categories that fit your business

    Where
    Google Business Profile → Edit profile → Business category
    What
    Consider adding “Coffee shop”, “Coffee roasters”. Only add one if it truly describes what you do.
    Why
    Brightside Roasters and Third Pour Café use these categories, and Google uses categories to decide which searches a business is shown for.
    Re-check
    In 4 weeks, search Google Maps for “lattes indianapolis”.

  3. Write your Google listing description

    Where
    Google Business Profile → Edit profile → Description
    What
    Write 2–3 plain sentences that say what you offer and where: mention Irvington and the things customers search for.
    Why
    Your listing has no description, so it gives Google and customers less to go on.
    Re-check
    Check that the description shows on your listing within a week.

  4. Reply to reviews and ask for new ones

    Where
    Google Business Profile → Reviews (and “Ask for reviews” for your link)
    What
    Reply to your recent reviews this week, then to each new one within a few days. Ask happy customers for a review: a QR code at the register or a link on receipts works well.
    Why
    38 reviews, 4.6 stars; newest is 36 days old; owner replied to 2 of the last 20; Brightside Roasters and Third Pour Café average 154 reviews.
    Re-check
    Count your reviews and replies again in 30 days.

  5. Make your home page say what and where

    Where
    Your website's home page
    What
    Change the page title to something like “Copper Kettle Coffee | [what you do] in Irvington, Indianapolis”. Mention Irvington and what you're known for in the first paragraph. Ask your web person to add LocalBusiness schema.
    Why
    Your home page title is “Home”, which doesn't say what you do; it doesn't mention Irvington; it doesn't include business details in the hidden format Google reads (schema markup).
    Re-check
    Google “coffee shop near me” again in 6–8 weeks.
