Scanned: 2026-11-12 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Pearl is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by The Pearl's website. It can read what The Pearl offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://thepearlrestaurant.com/locations-menus/dublin/dublin-patio-reservations/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://cameronmitchellrest.olo.com/menu/pearl-dublin (through olo acting for the business)
- Menu: https://thepearlrestaurant.com/locations-menus/
- Phone: +1-813-709-7776
- Address: 823 Water Street, Tampa, FL 33602
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon–Thu 11:30–22:00; Fri 11:30–23:00; Sat 10:00–23:00; Sun 10:00–21:00
- Prices: 3 prices on the site, the middle one $25.00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near The Pearl that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Boulon Brasserie (50 m): https://directindex.org/r/boulontampa.com
- Predalina (180 m): https://directindex.org/r/predalina.com

- Rick's on the River (3.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/ricksontheriver.com

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) 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
- **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)
- **3 prices on the landing page, the middle one $25.00.** In Tampa, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $12.96.

## 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.
