Scanned: 2026-11-12 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Thai Lao 78 is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Thai Lao 78'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, through ChowNow.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://direct.chownow.com/order/22997/locations/33544 (through chownow acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-210-998-2489
- Address: 6531 FM78, San Antonio, TX 78244

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Thai Lao 78 that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Pho Ba 9 (4 km): https://directindex.org/r/phobanine.com

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
