Site: https://elinaschicago.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/elinaschicago.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Elina's is partly visible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/explore/elinas/reservations/create/search/ (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/elinas-1202-w-grand-ave (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://elinaschicago.com/menu
- Phone: +1-312-929-2249

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.
