# The Loyalist: Agent-Direct Score B (72.3%)

Site: https://www.smythandtheloyalist.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/smythandtheloyalist.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.)
The Loyalist is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.exploretock.com/smyth/ (through tock acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://getbento.com/?utm_source=header&utm_campaign=smythandtheloyalist.com (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-773-913-3774

## What to fix first
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. 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.

```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (FoodEstablishment).** address, phone
- **Booking through tock on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Ordering through bentobox on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Tock works with agents through its partners.** Tock's terms (12 February 2026) prohibit robots, scripts, scrapers and automated systems except software expressly licensed by Tock; Google names Tock as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
