# Underground Lounge: Agent-Direct Score F (33.8%) Site: http://www.ulchicago.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/ulchicago.com Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Underground Lounge is largely invisible to agents. An AI assistant can open Underground Lounge'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: +17737998833 - Address: 952 W Newport Ave, 60657, Chicago ## Nearby, also direct Places near Underground Lounge that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Christmas Club (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/christmasclubchicago.com - Houndstooth Saloon (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/houndstoothsaloon.com - The Rabbit Hole Wrigley (150 m): https://directindex.org/r/rabbitholewrigley.com ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. 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 - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it. - **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) - **The footer says © 2015.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Chicago, 75% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Underground Lounge > local business in 952 W Newport Ave, 60657, Chicago, Chicago cafes and bars.
