## What to fix first
- **Ordering only through doordash.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **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
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Chitown Chicken",
  "url": "http://www.chitownchicken.com",
  "telephone": "+17733429055",
  "address": "4154 W Chicago Ave, 60651, Chicago",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 41.89543116,
    "longitude": -87.73064733
  }
}

```

## 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 (LocalBusiness).** address
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **DoorDash works with agents through its partners.** DoorDash's consumer terms (13 August 2026) allow access only by means DoorDash authorizes and bar automated means without written permission; agents order only through its CLI and MCP limited betas. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://help.doordash.com/legal/document?type=cx-terms-and-conditions&region=US&locale=en-US. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
