# Bella Vista: Agent-Direct Score B (73.8%)

Site: https://www.bellavistamanly.com.au
Report: https://directindex.org/r/bellavistamanly.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Bella Vista is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Bella Vista. It can read what Bella Vista offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.bellavistamanly.com.au/reservations (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/MLV79GFYNT576/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.bellavistamanly.com.au/chef-tasting-menu

## What to fix first
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User.** (+10 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. 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.
