Report: https://directindex.org/r/skalballard.com
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.)
Skål Beer Hall is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.skalballard.com/private-events (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.toasttab.com/local/order/skal-beer-hall/ (through toast acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.skalballard.com/food-menu
- Phone: +1-206-829-9615

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). 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 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.
