# The Highlander Pub: Agent-Direct Score B (73.8%)

Site: http://www.thehighlanderpub.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/deaconbrodies.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Highlander Pub is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Highlander Pub's website. It can read what The Highlander Pub offers. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://deaconbrodies.ca/deacons-menu
- Phone: 6135625678

## What to fix first

- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +16132366464, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 6135625678. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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": "The Highlander Pub",
  "url": "http://www.thehighlanderpub.com/",
  "telephone": "6135625678",
  "address": "115 Rideau Street, K1N 5X1, Ottawa",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 45.4264322,
    "longitude": -75.6912043
  }
