# The Bell Inn: Agent-Direct Score D (44.6%)

Site: http://the-bellinn.com/index.html
Report: https://directindex.org/r/the-bellinn.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 Bell Inn is hard for agents to use.

## 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it.
- **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.

<script type="application/ld+json">
