# Plan B: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%)

Site: http://www.barplanb.ca
Report: https://directindex.org/r/barplanb.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Plan B is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Plan B's website. It can read what Plan B offers. It can't find a link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Menu: http://www.barplanb.ca/test-menu-ge

## What to fix first

- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "BarOrPub",
  "name": "Plan B",
  "url": "http://www.barplanb.ca",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 45.5232598,
    "longitude": -73.583721
  },
  "hasMenu": "http://www.barplanb.ca/test-menu-ge"
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.

```
# Plan B

> bar or pub in Montreal cafes and bars.

## Book or order directly

- Menu: http://www.barplanb.ca/test-menu-ge

## About

- Website: http://www.barplanb.ca
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
