# local b: Agent-Direct Score B (75.4%)

Site: http://www.localb.ca
Report: https://directindex.org/r/localb.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
local b is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open local b'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 Shortcuts.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://home.shortcutssoftware.com/localb (through shortcuts acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://localb.ca/pages/politique-de-livraison-et-retours (on the business's own site)
- Phone: 514.844.9515

## What to fix first
- Languages: English, French

- **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Appointments through shortcuts on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
