# Photong Thai Restaurant: Agent-Direct Score D (44.6%) Site: http://www.pho-thong.co.uk Report: https://directindex.org/r/pho-thong.co.uk Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Photong Thai Restaurant is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Photong Thai Restaurant's website. It can read what Photong Thai Restaurant offers. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: http://www.pho-thong.co.uk/pho-thong-set-menu/ - Phone: +447366638362 - Address: 21 Stamford St, OL5 0LL, Ashton-under-Lyne - Its menu mentions: vegetarian dishes, a lunch or set menu ## Nearby, also direct Places near Photong Thai Restaurant that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - San Giorgio (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/sangiorgiomossley.co.uk - Mossley Tandoori (630 m): https://directindex.org/r/mossleytandoori.com - Chutney Massala (1.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/chutneymassalamossley.co.uk ## 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 - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it. - **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. ``` # Photong Thai Restaurant > local business (thai) in 21 Stamford St, OL5 0LL, Ashton-under-Lyne, Manchester.
