# Marco's Beef & Pizza: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%)

Site: https://marcosbeef.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/marcosbeef.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Marco's Beef & Pizza is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open the website of Marco's Beef & Pizza. It can read what Marco's Beef & Pizza offers. It finds no link to book or order online, only a phone number.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://www.marcosbeef.com/menu
- Phone: 773-745-1015

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Marco's Beef & Pizza",
  "url": "https://marcosbeef.com",
  "telephone": "773-745-1015",

```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-15 (F then)
- Fixed: The site could not be read at all
- New: No structured data for the business; No booking or ordering path at all
