# Ace Bar: Agent-Direct Score D (46.2%) Site: https://acebar.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/acebar.com Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) Ace Bar is hard for agents to use. ## Direct links - Phone: +1-212-979-8476 ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+13 points) Only a phone number or WhatsApp. Agents cannot act on those yet. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **Menu or price list lives on another site.** (+5 points) The link points to acebar.menu, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Ace Bar > bar or pub in East 5th Street 531, New York cafes and bars.
