The Muddy Puddle is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open The Muddy Puddle's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Eventbrite, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Phone: +442035096324
- Address: 142 Albion Rd, N16 9PA, London
- Prices: 8 prices on the site, the middle one £11.00

## Nearby, also direct

- Palm Greens (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/palmgreens.co.uk
- The Spread Eagle (3.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/thespreadeaglelondon.co.uk

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through eventbrite.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **8 prices on the landing page, the middle one £11.00.** In London, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is £11.90.
