# Harold Black: Agent-Direct Score B (81.5%) Site: http://haroldblackdc.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/haroldblack.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Harold Black is mostly ready for agents. An AI assistant can open Harold Black's website. What Harold Black offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://payroll.toasttab.com/jobs/Acqua/default/V/MzQwMiZfX19oPS04ODE5Njg5MjU= (through toast acting for the business) - Menu: https://haroldblack.com/s/HB-Happy-Hour-Menu-April-2025-4.pdf - Phone: (202) 540-0459 - Address: 212 7th St SE, 20003, Washington ## Nearby, also direct Places near Harold Black that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - 7st Hill Cafe (30 m): https://directindex.org/r/portcityjava.com - The Wells (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/thewellsdc.com - The Eastern (180 m): https://directindex.org/r/easternwinebar.com - Peregrine Espresso (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/peregrineespresso.com - Le Pain Quotidien (210 m): https://directindex.org/r/lepainquotidien.com ## What to fix first - **Booking only through opentable.** (+5 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/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 +14103043353, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (202) 540-0459. 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. ## 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. ``` # Harold Black > local business in 212 7th St SE, 20003, Washington, Washington, DC cafes and bars.
