Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
L'Ancien Bruxelles is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open the website of L'Ancien Bruxelles. It can read what L'Ancien Bruxelles offers. It finds no link to book or order online, only a phone number.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://ancienbruxelles.be/
- Phone: +3225139155

## What to fix first
- Prices: 89 prices on the site, the middle one €9.00
- Languages: English, French, Dutch

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **89 prices on the landing page, the middle one €9.00.** In Brussels, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is €14.90.

- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). 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 link on the website.** (+13 points) Only a phone number or WhatsApp, which agents cannot use yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "L'Ancien Bruxelles",
  "url": "http://www.ancienbruxelles.be",
  "telephone": "+3225139155",
  "address": "Rue des Renards 32, 1000, Bruxelles",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 50.83690791,
    "longitude": 4.34812542
