Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Ash GastroPub is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Ash GastroPub's website. What Ash GastroPub offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to TableAgent, a marketplace.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through tableagent.** (+5 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
- **Clover's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+5 points) Clover's consumer app terms (8 June 2023, section 3.5), linked from its online ordering pages, bar any deep-link, robot, spider or other device or process to access, copy or monitor the site or app, and bar the use of buying agents; no agent programme was found. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.clover.com/consumer/terms. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. A form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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
