Report: https://directindex.org/r/porteacote.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Porte à Côté is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://booking.libroreserve.com/215b991b47fe656/QC017485436591/seat (through libro acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.porteacote.ca/s/MENU-PAC-ajuste-6.pdf
- Phone: +1-514-379-1900

## What to fix first
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
