## 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+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
- **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": "Ethel and Andy's Sandwich Shop",
  "url": "https://ethelandys.com",
  "telephone": "+16172683027",
  "address": "134 K St, 02127, Boston",
  "geo": {

## 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.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Uber Eats works with agents through its partners.** Uber's US terms of use (12 October 2026) bar scripts that burden the services and any use to build software or train AI; its Claude and ChatGPT integrations only browse menus, with checkout in the Uber Eats app. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.uber.com/legal/en/document/?name=general-terms-of-use&country=united-states&lang=en. 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.
