## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.burdickchocolate.com/pages/eu-withdrawal-form (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1-617-303-0113

## What to fix first
- **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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (CafeOrCoffeeShop).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
