# Soul & Smoke: Agent-Direct Score B (80%) Site: http://www.soulandsmoke.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/soulandsmoke.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Soul & Smoke is mostly ready for agents. An AI assistant can open Soul & Smoke's website. What Soul & Smoke offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://www.soulandsmoke.com/holiday-1 (on the business's own site) - Menu: https://www.soulandsmoke.com/s/EVANSTON-LUNCH-MENU930.pdf - Address: North Rockwell Street 3057 60618 Chicago ## Nearby, also direct Places near Soul & Smoke that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Thattu (170 m): https://directindex.org/r/thattu.com - Little Lark (180 m): https://directindex.org/r/littlelarkchicago.com - Chicken House (230 m): https://directindex.org/r/mychickenhouse.com - BIBIBOP Asian Grill (480 m): https://directindex.org/r/bibibop.com - Lulu's Hot Diggity Dogs (490 m): https://directindex.org/r/lulusevanston.com ## What to fix first - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Booking only through resy.** (no points, but worth doing) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **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.
