# Alexander Michael's: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%)

Site: https://almikestavern.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/almikestavern.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Alexander Michael's is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Alexander Michael's, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://almikestavern.com/order-on-line (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://almikestavern.com/lunch-%26-dinner-menus
- Phone: +1 704-332-6789

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through.

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
