Scanned: 2026-10-14 (provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check pending)
Le Merrill is mostly ready for agents.

## What to fix first
- **Menu lives on another site.** The menu link points to lor.paris, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No llms.txt.** 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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
