Report: https://directindex.org/r/thedendenver.com
Scanned: 2026-10-25 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Den is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open The Den's website. It can read what The Den offers. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## What to fix first
- **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
- **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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "The Den",
  "url": "http://thedendenver.com",
  "telephone": "7204200186",
  "address": "2900 Zuni St, 80211, Denver",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 39.75863150815756,
