## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 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.

# Barry’s of Douglas

> bar or pub in East Douglas Street T12 YV08 Douglas, Cork cafes and bars. Phone +353214891370.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://booking.resdiary.com/widget/Standard/BarrysofDouglas/48591 (through resdiary acting for the business)
- Menu: https://barrysofdouglas.com/menus/

## Opening hours

Mo-Su 10:00-01:00

## About

- Website: https://www.barrysofdouglas.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 key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking through resdiary on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **ResDiary lets agents act only through its partners.** ResDiary's consumer terms bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automatic means of access except as expressly authorised by ResDiary; Google names ResDiary as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.resdiary.com/old/Terms. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
