Report: https://directindex.org/r/shanghaitings.com
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Shanghai Ting's is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Shanghai Ting's's website. It can read what Shanghai Ting's offers. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## What to fix first

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Buenos Aires, 9.4% of comparable sites declare one.

- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. 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

## 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": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Shanghai Ting's",
  "url": "http://www.shanghaitings.com/",
  "telephone": "+541148248921",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -34.5883388,
    "longitude": -58.404279
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://shanghaitings.com/menu.html"
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
