Neo is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Neo's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Phone: +1-905-527-8267
- Address: 199 Locke Street South
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon closed; Tue–Sat 09:00–20:00; Sun closed
- Open on Saturday

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Neo that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Thebarberonlocke  (180 m): https://directindex.org/r/thebarberonlocke.com
- Studio 136 (210 m): https://directindex.org/r/studio136.ca

## What to fix first
- **No online booking link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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
- **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

## 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.
