Site: https://www.forbesmillsteakhouse.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/forbesmillsteakhouse.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.)
Forbes Mill Steakhouse is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Forbes Mill Steakhouse. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through BentoBox.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://getbento.com/?utm_source=header&utm_campaign=forbesmillsteakhouse.com (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-408-395-6434

## What to fix first
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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.
