- Loft18 Houston (360 m): https://directindex.org/r/loft18.com
- Seaside Lounge (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/seasidehouston.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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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": "The Bell and Crane",
  "url": "https://www.bellandcrane.com",
  "telephone": "+18327349758",
  "address": "908 Henderson St, 77007, Houston",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",

    "longitude": -95.37929164
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://www.bellandcrane.com/menus"
}
</script>
```

## 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 (BarOrPub).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
