# Ling Kitchen: Agent-Direct Score D (43.1%) Site: http://www.lingkitchen.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/lingkitchen.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.) Ling Kitchen is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Ling Kitchen's website. What Ling Kitchen offers is on another site. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: +15129538182 - Address: 8423 Research Blvd, 78758, Austin ## Nearby, also direct Places near Ling Kitchen that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Din Ho Chinese BBQ (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/dinhochinesebbq.com - House of Three Gorges (280 m): https://directindex.org/r/houseofthreegorges.com - Bamboo House Austin (2.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/bamboohouseaustin.com - China House Restaurant (2.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/chinahouseaustintx.com - Fujian Grand China Buffet (2.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/fujiangrandaustin.com ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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 - **Booking only through resy.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to qodeinteractive.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Ling Kitchen > local business (chinese) in 8423 Research Blvd, 78758, Austin, Austin.
