Scanned: 2026-10-22 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Sans Bar is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Sans Bar'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.

## Nearby, also direct

- Saturn (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/saturnatx.com
- Retail Therapy Cocktail Lounge (320 m): https://directindex.org/r/retailtherapyatx.com

## 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

## 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": "Sans Bar",
  "url": "http://thesansbar.com",
  "telephone": "15125891634",
