# Bean Box: Agent-Direct Score C (56.6%)

Site: https://beanbox.co
Report: https://directindex.org/r/beanbox.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.)
Bean Box is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Bean Box's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Phone: (888) 923-8596
- Address: 600 N 36th St Ste 300, 98103, Seattle
- Prices: 14 prices on the site, the middle one $39.00

- Fainting Goat Gelato (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/faintinggoatseattle.com

## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **robots.txt blocks Google-Extended.** (+1.2 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **14 prices on the landing page, the middle one $39.00.** In Seattle, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $19.70.
