# The Vicious Poodle: Agent-Direct Score D (46.2%) Site: http://viciouspoodle.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/viciouspoodle.com 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 Vicious Poodle is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open The Vicious Poodle's website. It can read what The Vicious Poodle offers. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: https://viciouspoodle.com/menu/ - Address: 726 Johnson Street - Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mo off; Tu-Fr 15:00+; Sa-Su 11:00+ - Step-free access (OpenStreetMap) ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Vicious Poodle that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Momo Tea (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/milkcowcafe.ca - Cenote Restaurant and Lounge (120 m): https://directindex.org/r/cenoteloungevictoria.ca - Game 7 Sports Lounge (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/game7sportslounge.ca ## 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 - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2021.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. ## 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. ``` # The Vicious Poodle > bar or pub in 726 Johnson Street, Victoria cafes and bars. ## Book or order directly - Menu: https://viciouspoodle.com/menu/ ## Opening hours Mo off; Tu-Fr 15:00+; Sa-Su 11:00+ ## About - Website: http://viciouspoodle.com/ - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## Already right - **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents. - **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response. - **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices. ## Where it stands 99 of 144 in Victoria cafes and bars.
