# Brix & Mortar: Agent-Direct Score C (68.2%) Site: https://www.brixandmortar.ca Report: https://directindex.org/r/brixandmortar.ca 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.) Brix & Mortar is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Brix & Mortar. It can read what Brix & Mortar offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://order.toasttab.com/egiftcards/brix-and-mortar-1137-hamilton-st (through toast acting for the business) - Menu: https://www.brixandmortar.ca/dinner-menu/ - Phone: +16049159463 ## What to fix first - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Booking only through opentable.** (+5 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **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. ``` # Brix & Mortar > restaurant in Homer Street 1138 V6B 2X6 Vancouver, Vancouver.
