# La Plancha: Agent-Direct Score C (63.1%) Site: http://www.laplancha.co.uk/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/laplancha.co.uk Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) La Plancha is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open La Plancha'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 OpenTable, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://laplancha.co.uk/takeaway.php (on the business's own site) - Phone: 01214495303 - Address: Alcester Road 113 B13 8DD Birmingham - Prices: 81 prices on the site, the middle one £7.65 ## Nearby, also direct Places near La Plancha that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Grounded Kitchen (20 m): https://directindex.org/r/groundedkitchen.com - Tehran restaurant (30 m): https://directindex.org/r/tehranmoseley.co.uk - Thali at Moseley (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/thaliatmoseley.co.uk - The Cuban Embassy (The Bulls Head) (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/thebullsheadmoseley.co.uk - Tabule Kitchen (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/tabulekitchen.co.uk ## 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).
