Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Namaste is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Namaste. What Namaste offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds no link to book or order online, only a phone number.

- Phone: 0486 59 78 25

## What to fix first

- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) Only a phone number or WhatsApp, which agents cannot use yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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
- **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
- **The phone on the site is not the one the open data lists.** The site shows 03 294 58 53; OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 0486 59 78 25. An assistant that sees two different numbers does not know which to trust. Correct the wrong one: the site, or the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Namaste",
  "url": "http://restaurantnamaste.be",
  "telephone": "0486 59 78 25",
  "address": "Suikerrui 14, 2000, Antwerpen",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 51.22107733693459,
    "longitude": 4.398068478318435
  }
}
</script>
```
