Scanned: 2026-11-13 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Market at Hamilton is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by The Market at Hamilton's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.themarketathamilton.com/s/order (on the business's own site)
- Address: 5500 Harford Road, Baltimore, MD 21214
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon closed; Tue–Fri 11:00–18:00; Sat–Sun 11:00–17:00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near The Market at Hamilton that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- The Hamilton Sports Bar and Grill (30 m): https://directindex.org/r/thehamiltonsportsbarandgrill.com
- Fast Wok (50 m): https://directindex.org/r/fastwokmd.com
- Stoko's (230 m): https://directindex.org/r/orderstokos.com
- Taste This (790 m): https://directindex.org/r/tastethisbaltimore.com

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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.
