# The Blues Can: Agent-Direct Score D (49.2%) Site: https://www.thebluescan.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thebluescan.com Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Blues Can is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open The Blues Can's website. What The Blues Can offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.thebluescan.com/Blues%20Can%20Menu.pdf - Phone: +1-403-262-2666 ## What to fix first - Prices: 14 prices on the site, the middle one CA$10.00 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **14 prices on the landing page, the middle one CA$10.00.** In Calgary, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is CA$20.00. - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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 booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **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 - **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.
