Report: https://directindex.org/r/mamasamba.co.za
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Mamasamba is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Mamasamba. It can read what Mamasamba offers. It finds no link to book or order online, only a phone number.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://www.mamasamba.co.za/#menus
- Phone: +27 10 110 0313

## What to fix first

- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) Only a phone number or WhatsApp, which agents cannot use yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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.
