# Halo Halo: Agent-Direct Score D (40%)

Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Halo Halo is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Halo Halo's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Talabat, a marketplace.

## What to fix first

- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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 talabat.** (+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 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
- **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
- **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": "Halo Halo",
  "url": "http://www.halohalo.ae/",
  "telephone": "+97145976699",
  "address": "Jannah Dubai Creek Hotel (formerly Edge Creekside Hotel) - 4th St, 10237, دبي",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 25.25895127,
    "longitude": 55.32199617
  }
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
