Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Lyon Hall is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.lyonhallarlington.com/order-to-go (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.lyonhallarlington.com/menus/#dinner/
- Phone: +1-703-741-7636

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (no points, still worth doing) 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.** (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.
