# Star Island: Agent-Direct Score D (45.7%)

Report: https://directindex.org/r/starisland.org
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Star Island is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Star Island's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online.

## Direct links

## Nearby, also direct

- Golden Star (2.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/goldenchefdorchester.com
- Yunnan Kitchen (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/yunnankitchensouthend.com

## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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.** (+3.3 points) Requests as 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Star Island",
  "url": "http://www.starisland.org",
  "telephone": "(617) 442-1277",
  "address": "375 Blue Hill Ave, 02121, Dorchester",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 42.31183920041016,
    "longitude": -71.08107609036963
  }
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
