Report: https://directindex.org/r/barakaeatery.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Baraka Eatery is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Baraka Eatery's website. It can read what Baraka Eatery offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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

## 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.
