# Bai Bua Thai Cuisine: Agent-Direct Score F (32.3%)

Site: https://www.baibuathaicuisine.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/baibuathaicuisine.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Bai Bua Thai Cuisine is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Bai Bua Thai Cuisine's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://baibua-thai-cuisine.square.site/ (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-778-379-9699

## What to fix first

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2021.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Vancouver, 73% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to square.site, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (F then)
- Fixed: The site couldn't be read at all
