# Soul Bar: Agent-Direct Score D (51.2%) Site: https://soulbar.de Report: https://directindex.org/r/soulbar.de Scanned: 2026-10-20 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Soul Bar is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Soul Bar's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://soulbar.de/index.php?dir=reservierung (on the business's own site) - Address: Zülpicher Straße 29 50674 Köln ## Nearby, also direct Places near Soul Bar that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Jim und June (70 m): https://directindex.org/r/jim-and-june.de - Lost Level (70 m): https://directindex.org/r/lostlevel.bar - St. Louis Breakfast (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/st-louis-breakfast.de ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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 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. ``` # Soul Bar > bar or pub in Zülpicher Straße 29 50674 Köln, Cologne cafes and bars. ## Book or order directly - Book: https://soulbar.de/index.php?dir=reservierung (on the business's own site) ## About - Website: https://soulbar.de - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## Already right - **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed. - **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace. ## Where it stands 303 of 810 in Cologne cafes and bars.
