Site: https://www.ilbasilico.fr
Report: https://directindex.org/r/ilbasilico.fr
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.)
Il Basilico is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Il Basilico's website. It can read what Il Basilico offers. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://www.ilbasilico.fr/carte/

- Address: Avenue Jean Janvier 25 35000 Rennes

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Il Basilico that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is.

## 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.
