# The Compass: Agent-Direct Score D (46.2%) Site: https://www.thecompassnyc.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thecompassnyc.com Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) The Compass is hard for agents to use. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.thecompassnyc.com/menu-4 - Phone: +1-929-204-7875 ## 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 - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Compass > bar or pub in College Point Boulevard 11354, New York cafes and bars.
