# The Emerald Line: Agent-Direct Score C (55.4%) Site: https://www.theemeraldline.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/theemeraldline.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Emerald Line is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open The Emerald Line's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: +1 503 241 6559 - Address: Northwest 16th Avenue 1800 97209 Portland ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Emerald Line that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Fireside (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/pdxfireside.com - Cheryl's on 12th (1.6 km): https://directindex.org/r/cherylson12th.com - Portland City Grill (1.7 km): https://directindex.org/r/portlandcitygrill.com - Pine State Biscuits (1.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/pinestatebiscuits.com - Denny's (2.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/dennys.com ## What to fix first - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow.
