Scanned: 2026-11-04 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Best of Muscat is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Best of Muscat'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 on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://bestofmuscat.com/muttrah-fort-events-november-2026/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: 9459 8480
- Address: Muscat, 100, Muscat
- WhatsApp: a link on the site

- Mumtaz Mahal Oman (2 km): https://directindex.org/r/mumtazmahal.net

## What to fix first
- **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.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, 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.
