# Baia: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%) Site: https://www.baiastl.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/baiastl.com Scanned: 2026-11-14 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Baia is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Baia's website. It can read what Baia offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.baiastl.com/menu - Phone: +1-314-932-1200 - Address: 4199 Manchester Avenue, Saint Louis, MO 63110 - Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon–Tue closed; Wed–Sun 16:00–22:00 - Outdoor seating (OpenStreetMap) ## Nearby, also direct Places near Baia that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Gianino's (1.4 km): https://directindex.org/r/billgianinos.com - Rigazzi's (1.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/rigazzis.com - Charlie Gitto's (2 km): https://directindex.org/r/charliegittos.com - Bar Italia Ristorante (2.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/baritaliastl.com - Marconi Mercato (2.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/marconimercato.com ## 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 - **Booking only through resy.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **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 ## 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Baia > restaurant (italian) in 4199 Manchester Avenue, Saint Louis, MO 63110, St. Louis.
