Arsenal is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Arsenal's website. It can read what Arsenal offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://arsenal.pt/Encomenda (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://arsenal.pt/
- Address: Funchal
- Outdoor seating (OpenStreetMap)
- Prices: 53 prices on the site, the middle one €149

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is.
- **53 prices on the landing page, the middle one €149.** 

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",

## Why the assistants send people elsewhere
Why (2026-10-27): ChatGPT directed users to Facebook for ordering because it failed to find the ordering page that exists directly on the site, while lack of structured data and an on-site booking system led both assistants to third-party platforms.
