Report: https://directindex.org/r/bombaycurrycompany.com
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Bombay Curry Company is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Bombay Curry Company. What Bombay Curry Company offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Menu: http://www.bombaycurrycompany.com/s/Lunch-Menu-for-website.pdf
- Phone: +1-703-836-6363

## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) Agents find no link to follow on the site. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it.
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
