Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Brooklyn Standard is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Brooklyn Standard'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, through ChowNow.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://direct.chownow.com/order/28581/locations (through chownow acting for the business)
- Address: Grand Street 766

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Brooklyn Standard that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Campbell & Co. (540 m): https://directindex.org/r/campbellandco.nyc
- Ange Noir Cafe (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/angenoircafe.com
- Apollo Bagels (1.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/apollobagels.com
- Nook (1.7 km): https://directindex.org/r/nookbk.com

## 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
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (FoodEstablishment).** address
- **Ordering through chownow on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
