How to improve this score

Up to +70 points:

+15 · Several pages described
List your key pages (services, prices, about, contact) in the pages of your starter lawp.json, or link them from your homepage and sitemap.

+10 · 3 or more actions
Most businesses have at least three: contact, book or order, and view prices.

+15 · Publishes its own LAWP (/.well-known/lawp.json)
Publish your starter lawp.json at /.well-known/lawp.json. WordPress: install the Actuent plugin. Cloudflare: use the one-click Worker.

+15 · Actions agents can execute
Give an action an endpoint on your domain so agents can do it for the user, not just link to it. See LAWP Actions.

+15 · Business details (address, hours, phone)
Add schema.org business data to your homepage (the starter snippet). Google uses it too.
