# Sip Bowl Noodles: Agent-Direct Score C (57.4%) Site: http://www.sipbowl.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/sipbowl.com Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Sip Bowl Noodles is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Sip Bowl Noodles's website. It can read what Sip Bowl Noodles offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site. ## Direct links - Order directly: http://www.sipbowl.com/order-now (on the business's own site) - Menu: http://www.sipbowl.com/menu - Phone: (778) 737-3999 ## What to fix first - Languages: English, Chinese - **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 - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **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. ``` # Sip Bowl Noodles > local business (asian) in 2255 41st Ave W, V6M 2A3, Vancouver, Vancouver.
