Strong technical foundation, undermined by a stale llms.txt that breaks the no-availability-promises rule and two old-address listings sitting on Bing page 1, the index ChatGPT reads from.

ChatGPT sent 22 visitors in the last 30 days. That channel is real and growing; the fixes below protect it.

What is working verified live, raw HTML

Full Bakery schema on the homepage. Correct address (29 Farmway RM8 2SR), phone, opening hours, geo, 4.6★ rating, map link, 8 social profiles, 25-town service area. Nothing structurally missing. (Note: naive scanners report "no schema" because they strip scripts; the markup is there.)
/pages/llms is clean and footer-linked. Uses the compliant wording ("slots are shown at checkout once you enter your postcode") and even tells AI agents not to complete checkout without buyer approval.
No AI crawler is blocked. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, CCBot all fall under the site's allow-all rules.
Google brand + local queries are dominated. "Cake Trays Romford" returns 7/7 own results; "cakes Dagenham delivery" has 2 pages in the top 4.
Bing index (ChatGPT's feed): organic #1 and #2 for the brand, with TripAdvisor, MapQuest and Restaurant Guru (all correct address) behind.
No "100% Halal" wording anywhere checked. Brand rule holds.

What is broken or risky

llms.txt still promises same-day delivery in 5 places (lines 3, 37, 38, 57, 58), for example: "Same-day and next-day delivery slots on many cakes". It contradicts the cleaned /pages/llms, and llms.txt is the file AI agents fetch first. Banned wording, straight violation of the copy rule.
Old Armstrong Close address on Bing page 1. hampsteadvillagelondon.com and allinlondon.co.uk both show "Armstrong Close RM8 1TF" in the brand top 10. ChatGPT citing either sends customers to a dead address.
Same-day promises inside the homepage JSON-LD (knowsAbout list and service type), the exact machine-readable layer AI models quote.
At least one page title promises same-day: "Fresh Cakes with Same-Day Delivery" on the Romford cake shop page.
⚠️ Schema review count (231) may be hardcoded vs GBP's live count; drift becomes a trust mismatch.
