Site: https://www.arvocafe.co.uk/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/arvocafe.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Arvo is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://squareup.com/gift/MLWJGNKG53PSX/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.arvocafe.co.uk/menu

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.

- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
