# Bar Liberty: Agent-Direct Score B (84.6%)

Site: https://barliberty.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/barliberty.com
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Bar Liberty is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Bar Liberty. What Bar Liberty offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://barliberty.com/book-online (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/8TJBSR0GWR1J4/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://barliberty.com/s/A-LA-CARTE-kymy.pdf

## What to fix first
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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.
