# Alicis: Agent-Direct Score D (43.9%)

Site: http://www.alicis.co.uk/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/alicis.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Alicis is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants can't open Alicis's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/reservations/alicislondon (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Phone: +442083741632
- Address: 405 Lordship Ln, N17 6AG, London

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (challenge:checking your browser). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to finedinemenu.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone
- **Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **SevenRooms works with agents through its partners.** SevenRooms' terms (17 April 2026) bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means except bona fide search engines; Google names SevenRooms as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.

## Why the assistants send people elsewhere
