# Gong Cha: Agent-Direct Score B (71.3%)

Site: https://www.gongchacanada.ca
Report: https://directindex.org/r/gongchacanada.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Gong Cha is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Gong Cha's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.gongchacanada.ca/order-online (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1-403-226-0060

## What to fix first

- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript

## 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.

}

## 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.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
