## How to Make AI Find You

1. Add a complete LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema with full street address, opening hours, and priceRange — currently the schema lacks these fields, reducing AI assistant citation potential.
2. Create a /llms.txt file listing Foodipedia's core services, target audience, and regulatory specializations so AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) can accurately represent the business.
3. Implement FAQPage schema markup — the site has rich FAQ-type content (import checklists, labeling guides) but no structured FAQ schema, missing a major AEO signal.
4. Add multilingual meta descriptions in Malay (ms) and Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) — the site already publishes content in these languages but og:locale is set only to en_US, missing search visibility for Chinese-speaking and Malay-speaking entrepreneurs.
5. Add structured business hours and explicit address to both the website footer and JSON-LD schema — multiple reviews mention confusion about location (Zaloha vs Foodipedia branding, floor, parking), and structured data would resolve this for AI assistants and Google.
