# One Tail at a Time - Ellis Clinic: Agent-Direct Score D (50%)

Site: http://onetail.org/ellisclinic
Report: https://directindex.org/r/onetail.org
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.)
One Tail at a Time - Ellis Clinic is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by One Tail at a Time - Ellis Clinic's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through calendar.app.google.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://onetailatatime.square.site/ (through square acting for the business)
- Address: 635 N Western Ave, 60612, Chicago

## Nearby, also direct
Places near One Tail at a Time - Ellis Clinic that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Milktooth Pediatric Dentistry (570 m): https://directindex.org/r/milktoothdental.com

- Wicker Park Health Center (970 m): https://directindex.org/r/primecarehealth.org

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Dentist, MedicalClinic, Physiotherapy or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No list of services and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they treat and what does it cost?' from 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
- **Appointments through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **robots.txt blocks ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+2.5 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **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.
