- 8 oz. Burger & Co (10 m): https://directindex.org/r/8ozburgerco.com

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through opentable.** (no points, but worth doing) 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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 5129008322, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +12068806640. 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)
- **4 prices on the landing page, the middle one $5.00.** In Seattle, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $15.23.

## 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 (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
