# Brando’s Speakeasy: Agent-Direct Score D (50.3%) Site: https://brandoschicago.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/brandoschicago.com Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) Brando’s Speakeasy is hard for agents to use. ## Direct links - Phone: +1-773- 216-3213 ## What to fix first - **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+13 points) Only a phone number or WhatsApp. Agents cannot act on those yet. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list 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, 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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Brando’s Speakeasy > bar or pub in South Dearborn Street 343 60604 Chicago, Chicago cafes and bars.
