# LIV Houston: Agent-Direct Score D (47.7%)

Site: http://www.LIVHouston.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/livhouston.com
Scanned: 2026-10-25 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
LIV Houston is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open LIV Houston's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through peerspace.com.

## Direct links
- Phone: +12819395799
- Address: 108 Main St, 77002, Houston
- Prices: 15 prices on the site, the middle one $8.00

## Nearby, also direct

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. 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 page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **15 prices on the landing page, the middle one $8.00.** In Houston, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $14.70.

## 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.
