# Bella's Boys Italian Kitchen: Agent-Direct Score D (48.8%) Site: http://www.bellas.ca/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/bellas.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.) Bella's Boys Italian Kitchen is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Bella's Boys Italian Kitchen's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through ChowNow. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://ordering.chownow.com/order/20659/locations?add_cn_ordering_class=true (through chownow acting for the business) ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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 - **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 - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) 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 - **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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Bella's Boys Italian Kitchen > restaurant (italian) in Greenbank Road 250 K2H 8X4, Ottawa. ## Book or order directly - Order: https://ordering.chownow.com/order/20659/locations?add_cn_ordering_class=true (through chownow acting for the business) ## About - Website: http://www.bellas.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.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed. - **Ordering through chownow on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours. ## Where it stands 682 of 1147 in Ottawa.
