Report: https://directindex.org/r/eatmorecowbell.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)

- Order directly: https://order.online/store/27914569?pickup=true&redirected=true (through doordash_storefront acting for the business)

- Phone: 9802248674

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through.

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right

- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
- **Ordering through doordash_storefront on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
