- Peters Pizzeria and Grill (700 m): https://directindex.org/r/peterspizzeriaandgrill.com

## What to fix first
- **Ordering only through grubhub.** (+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 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2024.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.

## 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "The Original Nicky's",
  "url": "https://nickys58.com/",
  "telephone": "+17734366458",
  "address": "5801 S Kedzie Ave, 60629-3212, Chicago",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 41.78782,
    "longitude": -87.70303

## 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.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Grubhub works with agents through its partners.** Grubhub's terms of use (17 December 2024) bar access with any robot, spider, crawler or automated process; since June 2026 Alexa+ users can browse, build an order and check out through Grubhub by voice. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.grubhub.com/legal/terms-of-use. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
