# Balance Overseas: Agent-Direct Score D (51.2%) Site: http://www.biesc.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/biesc.com 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.) Balance Overseas is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Balance Overseas'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://www.biesc.com/maappointment.html (on the business's own site) - Phone: +13473791999 ## What to fix first ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2024.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (TouristAttraction, Museum, TravelAgency or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_429), PerplexityBot (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. ``` # Balance Overseas > local business in 529 Elm Park Ave, K2J 5X9, Ottawa, Ottawa tours, attractions and museums.
