HOW TO READ THIS REPORT

Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface karlomikus/bar-assistant, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

OVERALL DIRECTION

highreadme#1

Clarify the README's opening paragraph to emphasize 'self-hosted API' and 'home bar management'

Why:

CURRENT

Bar Assistant is all-in-one solution for managing your home bar. Compared to other recipe management software that usually tries to be more for general use, Bar Assistant is made specifically for managing cocktail recipes. This means that there are a lot of cocktail-oriented features, like ingredient substitutes, first-class ingredients, ABV calculations, unit switching and more. This repository only contains the API server, if you are looking for easy to use web client, take a look at Salt Rim.

(Compared to other recipe apps)' with content like: 'Unlike general recipe management software such as Grocy or Mealie, Bar Assistant is a self-hosted API specifically tailored for cocktail enthusiasts. It offers unique features like precise ABV calculations, intelligent ingredient substitutes, and a data model optimized for complex cocktail recipes, rather than generic meal planning or pantry tracking.'
