Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Milky Way is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open The Milky Way's website. It can read what The Milky Way offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.online/business/the-milky-way-439943 (through doordash_storefront acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.milkywayla.com/menus
- Phone: +1-310-859-0004
- Address: Pico Boulevard 9108 W 90035 Los Angeles

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through resy.** (+5 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/book-direct-on-your-own-website

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering through doordash_storefront on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
