# The Finches: Agent-Direct Score D (43.1%) Site: https://finchesofflicence.ie/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/finchesofflicence.ie Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Finches is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open The Finches's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: +35316166775 - Address: Neilstown Rd, 22, Dublin - Prices: 76 prices on the site, the middle one €8.99 ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Finches that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Coldcut Club (680 m): https://directindex.org/r/thecoldcut.ie - The Waterside (1.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/watersidepub.ie - Palmerstown House (2.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/palmerstownhousepub.ie - Fude Company (2.4 km): https://directindex.org/r/fudecompany.net - The Laurels Clondalkin (2.7 km): https://directindex.org/r/thelaurelsclondalkin.ie ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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 +353161666775, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +35316166775. 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. ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **76 prices on the landing page, the middle one €8.99.** In Dublin, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is €24.75. ## 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Finches > local business in Neilstown Rd, 22, Dublin, Dublin cafes and bars.
