Scanned: 2026-10-20 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Eckstein is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Eckstein's website. It can read what Eckstein offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Cologne, 11% of comparable sites declare one.

## 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",

          "http://schema.org/MobileWebPlatform"
        ]
      },
      "result": {
        "@type": "Reservation",
        "name": "Reservation"
      }
    }
