# Ironside Grill: Agent-Direct Score F (32.8%) Site: http://www.ironside-grill.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/ironside-grill.com Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Ironside Grill is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Ironside Grill's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: (617) 242-1384 - Address: 25 Park St, 02129, Charlestown ## Nearby, also direct Places near Ironside Grill that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Night Shift Brewing (600 m): https://directindex.org/r/nightshiftbrewing.com - Caffé Ducali (660 m): https://directindex.org/r/duca.li - Boston Madison Square Garden Club (720 m): https://directindex.org/r/bmsgc.org - Lil Italy (860 m): https://directindex.org/r/caffelilitaly.com ## What to fix first - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. 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 on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:attention required), ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Perplexity-User.** (+5 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents - **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 ``` robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers. ``` # Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them. # Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.
