# Basilic Vietnamese Kitchen: Agent-Direct Score F (34.8%) Site: http://basilicvietnamesekitchen.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/basilicvietnamesekitchen.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Basilic Vietnamese Kitchen is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Basilic Vietnamese Kitchen's website. It can read what Basilic Vietnamese Kitchen offers. To book or order, it is sent to Uber Eats, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: http://basilicvietnamesekitchen.com/ - Phone: 16022375145 - Address: 101 E McDowell Rd, 85004-1629, Phoenix ## Nearby, also direct Places near Basilic Vietnamese Kitchen that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Alden Restaurant (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/aldenphx.com - Palette (160 m): https://directindex.org/r/phxart.org - Blue Fin Teriyaki (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/phxbluefin.com - The Old Spaghetti Factory (240 m): https://directindex.org/r/osf.com - City Bistro BMO (410 m): https://directindex.org/r/citybistrobmo.com ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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 - **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+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/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+3.7 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it. - **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 © 2021.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Phoenix, 77% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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 ``` robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers. ``` # Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them. # Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.

Phone 16022375145. ## Book or order directly - Menu: http://basilicvietnamesekitchen.com/ ## About - Website: http://basilicvietnamesekitchen.com - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## Already right - **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices. - **Uber Eats works with agents through its partners.** Uber's US terms of use (12 October 2026) bar scripts that burden the services and any use to build software or train AI; its Claude and ChatGPT integrations only browse menus, with checkout in the Uber Eats app. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.uber.com/legal/en/document/?name=general-terms-of-use&country=united-states&lang=en. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them. ## Where it stands 1122 of 1511 in Phoenix.
