Report: https://directindex.org/r/lechevalmarin.com
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Le Cheval Marin is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Le Cheval Marin. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Privateaser, a marketplace.

## What to fix first

## 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. In Brussels, 31% of comparable sites declare one.

- **Booking only through privateaser.** (+12 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Le Cheval Marin",
  "url": "http://www.lechevalmarin.com/",
  "telephone": "+3228086646",
  "address": "Quai aux Briques 90, 1000, Bruxelles",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 50.85353539,
    "longitude": 4.34651134
