Site: https://thechickpea.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thechickpea.ca
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 Chick Pea is partly visible to agents.
AI assistants can't open The Chick Pea's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.thechickpea.ca/order/the-chick-pea/catering/menu (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://order.thechickpea.ca/order/the-chick-pea/catering/menu
- Phone: +1-403-264-9299

## What to fix first

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Calgary, 70% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
