# Merivale Noodle House: Agent-Direct Score D (50.3%) Site: http://merivalenoodlehouse.ca/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/merivalenoodlehouse.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.) Merivale Noodle House is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Merivale Noodle House's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Uber Eats, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: +16132268812 ## What to fix first - **Ordering only through ubereats.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Merivale Noodle House > organization (vietnamese) in 1519 Merivale Rd, K2G 3J3, Ottawa, Ottawa.
